There is no better time to be on the lookout for real estate bargains, especially for land in some of the most desriable locations like Hawaii. The Aloha State has become a desirable place for vacation and retirement homes over the years. The Big Island of Hawaii actually offers more land area than the other islands combined, and there are some very nice areas of widely divergent weather and geography.

The community of Hilo is on the wet side of the island. The nearly daily rains give this part of the island a very tropical feel. The county of Hawaii has its primary government offices in Hilo. Check with a Realtor in Hilo for help in locating Big Island real estate opportunities on that side of the island.

On the leeward side of the volcanic mountains is Kona, which is much drier than Hilo. As the tropical rain clouds pass over the mountains much of the moisture is squeezed out, and onto Hilo on the windward side. That is why Kona is generally much drier. Most people seem to be inclined to the dry side, since there is more sunshine on average in Kona than in Hilo.

The Kona district offers a great deal of Hawaii land with terrific ocean views and coffee orchards above 1,000 feet elevation. The last few years have hit Hawaii real estate very hard and it is possible to find some terrific deals on residential land. There is an atmosphere about the Big Island that is different than the other islands. If you are thinking about buying land for a retirement or vacation home, take a look at Kona and the Big Island.
