Big Island Insider

What Most Agents
Won't Tell You

The Big Island has its own rules. Five things every buyer needs to understand — things that only matter here, and that only a local agent will know to flag.

01

Lava Flow Zones Change Everything

Every property on the Big Island is rated Lava Zone 1–9. Zone 1 is highest risk — often uninsurable and carrying significant financing limitations. Zone 1 and 2 properties in lower Puna are a different conversation than Zone 8 in Waimea. Know the zone before you fall in love with the address.

02

Water Systems Are Not All Equal

County water is straightforward. But many rural and agricultural properties run on catchment — rainwater collection — or private water systems. Each has different costs, maintenance responsibilities, and financing implications. This is one of the first questions I ask about any property.

03

Agricultural Zoning Controls More Than You Think

A-1 zoning requires a 20-acre minimum lot size. A-20 allows smaller parcels. These designations affect what you can legally build, whether you can subdivide, and how land can be used long-term. Vacant ag land that looks like a deal can carry serious restrictions — and those restrictions don't show up on Zillow.

04

The Two Coasts Are Two Different Worlds

The Kona side is dry, sunny, and premium-priced. The Hilo side receives 130+ inches of rain annually and is significantly more affordable. Waimea sits at 2,500 feet in cool ranch country. These aren't just climate differences — they're lifestyle differences. Knowing which side fits your life is one of the most important decisions you'll make.

05

CPR Lots vs. Fee Simple

Condominium Property Regime (CPR) is common in Hawai'i and means you own a unit or parcel within a shared project — not the underlying land outright. It's different from a traditional condo and different from fee simple ownership. CPR properties have specific financing requirements and resale considerations worth understanding before you're under contract.

Let's Talk
