Tourism prediction
Hawaii Island: Had 133,081 visitors, a 6% decrease from October 2022, with spending of $246.1 million, an 8% increase from the prior year . The boomerang effect of tourism as we have been in the holidays, shows that people unable to go to Maui, look to have discovered Hawaii Island, as evidenced from what we are seeing on the beaches, in the parks and on the roads.


Hawaii Housing Market
Housing demand is too high for supply
2024 will bring lower rates, but not too low and development is spotty.
However, the County has put 17 million to build attainable and work force housing in a variety of places around the island.
There is a new development near the Civic Center that is ear marked for affordable housing.
245 acres was just donated by Mark Benoiff and will be used to build high density homes, single family homes, and Build Your own in terms of large scale development, Waikoloa Village is the future of new housing communities.
