The median price of a condominium on Oahu is $329900. Best to stay on the mainland.

It would be very difficult to find a condo anywhere on Oahu for 150K. In fact, many condos around Ala Moana sell for considerably more than the current median price. So, sorry, I can't help you.

Just to clarify...Makaha is not near Ala Moana. Whole different vibe and a long commute to town...

Some of the condos are on leased land so they are not as expensive since the lease could be coming up soon for the entire building. If they can't negotiate a decent new lease amount your monthly maintenance fees will go completely out of sight. If they can't negotiate a new lease at all, then the building may be torn down. Caveat emptor.

WAIKIKI, Tradewinds Hotel Inc. $145000 (Leasehold) ... Across the street from Ilikai Hotel and Ala Wai Boat Harbor

For this reason, leasehold properties tend to sell for less than “fee simple” properties, because the ownership in fee simple properties never ends. Better to pay more money if you can afford it. A lower price is not alway a deal. Also limitations on financing. For reasons that should be fairly obvious, a bank is not going to give you a thirty-year mortgage on a property whose lease expires in 20 years.“what happens when the lease expires”???. The worst-case scenario is the leasehold owner will end up with nothing.
