Mortgages in Hawaii

When financing is required, looking for a local mortgage banker or broker is an essential first step when beginning a property search in Hawaii. In addition to working with a real estate agent, a buyer would need to begin working with a mortgage lender on the pre-approval process and assess where their finances are, and how much of a home purchase they can realistically afford. Loan pre-approval expedites the homebuying process, giving the buyer a competitive edge in the fast-paced Hawaii real estate market.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When it comes to Hawaii real estate, there are a number of frequently asked questions that buyers and sellers often ask. Some of the most common FAQ include the average cost of a condo or home for sale in Hawaii, property tax rates from island to island, and typical monthly costs of home ownership. Additionally, questions on how to buy real estate in Hawaii as a non-resident, the difference between fee simple and leasehold, closing costs, and what is a 1031 Exchange come up. To get answers to these common questions and more, visit our FAQ guide.

Closing costs depend on a number of factors, including the purchase price, type of property, and location, but there are common costs to expect. Lender fees can include origination, points, PMI, prepaid interest, application, credit report, and appraisal fees. A title search will be done to verify that the seller has a clear title, and title insurance may be required to protect against any title defects. Escrow is responsible for handling the closing process and ensuring that all documents are signed and funds transferred, so expect fees. Recording fees are charged by the county to record the transfer of ownership. Inspection fees can include home, mold, and sometimes termite. If the property is part of an association, you will have pro-rated HOA fees and a pre-payment for the following month.

The major structural components, plumbing, heating, and electrical systems are inspected for visual signs of nonfunctional performance, excessive wear, and general condition are checked during the home inspection. Items inspected include the air conditioning, appliances, breaker panel, cabinets, ceilings, disposal, doors, exterior siding, floors, foundation, framing, heating system, insulation, outlets, roof, showers, sinks, smoke detectors, stairs, switches, toilets, tubs, walls, water heater, and windows.

Property tax rates in Hawaii vary depending on the county and assessed value of the property. Property taxes are assessed annually based on the value of the property as of January 1st of the tax year, and the tax rate is then applied to the assessed value. Hawaii tax rates are as follows: Hawaii County from 0.61% to 1.36%; Kauai County from 0.25% to 1.08%; Maui County from 0.19% to 1.46%; and Honolulu County from 0.35% to 1.39%. If the property is your principal residence, there is an exemption that provides a tax credit to the assessed value before the property tax rate is calculated. Read more.

  • Fee simple is the most familiar form of ownership of real estate in Hawaii. Also known as fee simple absolute, this entitles the property owner 100% ownership of the land and all improvements thereon. A fee simple owner has the right to possess, use and dispose of the land, as well as donate, trade, or lease it. In the event of the owner's death, fee simple allows the property to be passed onto its heirs.
  • Leasehold is where the property owner, or lessee, owns 100% of the buildings but none of the land. The lessee agrees to pay lease rent to the land owner, or lessor, for the remaining years of the lease. Three outcomes are possible with leasehold: 1) Prior to the expiration of the lease, the lessor may sell the land to the AOAO which in turn would offer the fee purchase to the lessee. The lessee can either purchase the fee and convert it to fee simple, or continue to pay lease rent to the AOAO; 2) Upon the expiration of the lease, the land and all improvements would return to the lessor; 3) Prior to the expiration of the lease, the lessor renews the lease.

The costs of owning a condo in Hawaii depend on a variety of factors, such as location, size, age, and amenities. AOAO fees cover the maintenance of the common areas, such as the pool, landscaping, and security. Property taxes range from 0.19% to 1.5% of the assessed value. Utilities include electricity, gas, cable, phone, and sometimes water. Homeowners insurance covers the interior of the unit, personal belongings, and liability. Owners are responsible for maintaining and repairing the interior, such as appliances, plumbing, and electrical. Overall, the monthly costs of owning a condo in Hawaii can vary from several hundred to thousands.

A 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange allows a property owner to defer paying capital gains tax when selling an investment property by using the proceeds from the sale to purchase another like-kind property. Instead of receiving the proceeds, the owner uses a qualified intermediary to hold the funds. Within 45 days of the sale, the owner must identify a like-kind replacement property, and within 180 days of the sale, the owner must close on the purchase of the replacement property using the funds held by the intermediary. It's important to note that there are strict rules and guidelines to be followed in order to qualify for a 1031 Exchange, and it's recommended to work with a qualified intermediary and tax professional. Read more.

Yes, non-residents can buy real estate in Hawaii. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership of property, and non-residents can purchase and own property just as residents do. They may have a harder time obtaining financing for a property, as some lenders may require a larger down payment or proof of income in the U.S. They may also be subject to different tax rules and rates, so it's important to consult with a tax professional. Off-island owners will need to hire a property manager to manage a rental property.

Maintenance fees of condos in Hawaii typically cover the cost of maintaining and operating the common areas and shared facilities. Property maintenance includes landscaping, pool and spa, building exterior, and repair of common areas such as hallways, elevators, and parking garages. Utilities included are often water, sewer, garbage, and rarely electric. Insurance on the exterior of the building and common areas, but owners will need to purchase a homeowners policy with liability to cover from the walls into the unit. Contribution to the reserve fund to be used to pay for repairs and upgrades to the complex over time.

The length of time it takes to close escrow in Hawaii depends on the complexity of the transaction, responsiveness of parties, and type of financing. For cash offers, expect 21 to 30 days, financed offers will be 45 to 60 days. During escrow, the buyer and seller will work to complete all tasks and documentation, including obtaining inspections, securing financing, and signing legal documents. Once all requirements have been met, escrow will distribute funds and transfer ownership of the property. The escrow company acts as a neutral third party to ensure that all aspects of the transaction are completed accurately and on time.
