Welcome to 278 Makaweli Place, a rare opportunity to own a private estate in one of Oahu’s most coveted enclaves. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious Koko Kai-Triangle neighborhood of Hawaii Kai, this stunning residence captures uninterrupted views of Maunalua Bay, Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean—a breathtaking backdrop for every moment of the day.

Good news for Oahu homeowners: The Honolulu City Council recently passed two bills that will provide modest but meaningful property tax relief, especially for senior homeowners on fixed incomes. Two measures, Bill 49 and Bill 50, were approved and will go into effect starting with the tax year that begins July 1, 2027.

The Oahu real estate market is stable, with sales following typical seasonal trends. Single-family home prices have come down slightly in 2025, while condo prices have been flat. Demand is steady, with homes entering escrow in about three weeks and condos in about 6 weeks, and one in three home sales and one in eight condo sales bid up over the asking price.
