KITV<\/em> reports.<\/p>\nKalakaua Avenue will be home to a 23-story affordable residential building.\u00a0Of the 176 units, 90 will be affordable, ranging from $239,000 to $393,000. Serge Krivatsy, founding member and Principal of THM Partners, commented that in spite of the higher profit margin for luxury residences, choosing to develop affordable residences is a wiser decision since there is a great demand for them.<\/p>\n
According to data provided by the National Association of Realtors, at the beginning of the current year, the housing market in Honolulu was the most expensive in the nation.\u00a0Last year, the median price of a single-family unit decreased 13 percent, to about $557,500, but officials declared that the amount is still not affordable.<\/p>\n
With the\u00a0cooperation of state officials, developers\u00a0are emphasizing the difference between affordable housing and housing affordability. Kalakaua Avenue’s developer, Peter Savio, said that during their pre-sale purchase in August, more than 4,000 prospective buyers showed interest in the project, and all the units\u00a0were sold during one weekend.<\/p>\n
In related news, the recovery of the housing market in Oahu has remained arduous, the Pacific Business News<\/em> reports. While sales have increased, median prices for residential units have decreased. There has been a 4 percent increase\u00a0in sales of single-family homes last month: there were\u00a0284 sales compared to 273 residences sold in the same period last year. In comparison, condominium sales have increased by 19 percent–from 306 units to 364. The increase in sales is not\u00a0necessarily indicative of\u00a0market\u00a0health, however,\u00a0as\u00a0the median price of a single-family unit fell by 8 percent, and the median price of condominiums\u00a0dropped by 4 percent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Liviu Oltean, Associate Editor
