Not sure what impact a new marina will have on the location. Only time will tell.

Hawaii Kai which is similar to Kailua is experiencing very slow sales right now especially in the upper end. The amount of inventory in escrow with a Just Accpeted Offer (data that is only 4 days old) is 13% as compared to the Island's SFH Avg. of 17%. Kailua is at 18%.

Enchated Lake is at 22%. So you can the movement in Enchanted Lake and all of Kailua right now over the averages and moving very well.

Hawaii Kai's lower % should mean however mean you might have more negotiation with a motivated seller since things are slower there.

The Marina area is fabulous and a great place to be near or on the water and short range will cost you much more than Enchanted Lake but long range gain you more equity than Enchanted Lake...unless you purchase a home on the water in Enchanted Lake.

I live in Kailua and although there is no access to the Ocean from Enchanted Lake you are only 3 miles to boat dock onto fabulous Kailua Bay which is in the Top 10 beach areas of the World. There is a big difference between the waters for boating off of Kailua and Hawaii Kai. I myself am a boater and the waters are much better in Kailua.

I hope this helps.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. There are 2 active listings on the market now for $625,000 and $789,000. No sales since 2006. May 2006 waterfront one closed for $750,000, in September an off water one sold for $581,000 and in December another waterfront at $750,000. Personally I much prefer it over Enchanted Lake - but I'm biased toward Hawaii Kai. The new marina is out on the west side of the island and won't have any impact on Hawaii Kai Marina (again, my opinion). Aloha!

Here is the information on the property: http://realestate.yahoo.com/Hawaii/Honolulu/Homes_for_sale/1…
