Will property value for a NEW home on Leeward Coast go up?

Profile picture for staceylh112
I getting ready to purchase a home and am considering buying new.  There are new developments in Maili and Nanakuli.  Would you predict that these neighborhoods would build equity?  As compared with Kapolei or Ewa?  Prices are much lower on the coast and thus easier to get into as a first home.  But I would not do it if there is a minimul chance of building equity over a minimum of 5 years.

Data for Maili and Nanakuli is scarce. Picture for Hawaii:
-------------------------------------
Percentage of People Selling at a Loss
2007: 3.63%
2008: 14.54%
2009: 23.64%
2010: 26.70%
2011: 28.00%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Home Price Index
M-t-M: down 0.2%
Q-t-Q: down 0.5%
Y-t-Y: up 0.3%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It appears that you market is reasonably stable. According to Forecast-chart.com, your market (Maili) is forecast to drop 1.8% by 2012. Although there is a very small downside risk, there is no compelling data to suggest that there is upward price pressure - you may not break even if you sell in 5 years.

As we can not predict market fluctuations, we do know that prices are down now and seem to be holding steady on Oahu- and the interest rates are historically low now, making monthly mortgage payments more affordable.  Those two market characteristics usually mean it's a very good time to buy.  The Waianae Coast is one of Oahu's rare, beautiful, unspoiled coasts.  Since Kapolei is expanding and improving so much, it is forseeable that the Maili to Makaha areas will also benefit.  In five years? Not sure.  Ten?  Can you hold it for 15, if necessary?
