Great points! I just bought a beautiful house in Hilo. I was the only offer that was NOT cash and offering asking price (because it was a stretch for my budget). The house was less than 5 years old, the seller was the builder, so I didn't have an inspection. I had to sell my condo first, (I already had three cash offers). It was adapted for a wheelchair, and I'm taking care of my 94 year old mother. We've lived in Hilo since 1991 and my agent and the sellers agent knew each other. All those points added up to my offer being the one accepted, so cash isn't always King, thank goodness! I was so glad to hear you accepted the offer you did!

[@ThuanHoang-fd3dx]

I prefer yard. Beautiful condo thank you for sharing. How much are the asking price? And HOA each month?

[@thedigitalnicholas]

Ocean view penthouse for me. I like the city lights view at night as well.

[@cyber-yo9378]

2 great guys. So good to see Aiden come up so strong under Derek’s tutelage. Keep up the role plays - “Don’t worry about my knees” - classic!😂

[@rinijoy6010]

Coming from NYC, either view! Love the amount of sky you can see.

[@kokomendez86]

Agree! I would choose ocean view. Also, would be happy with yard because we have a very spoiled rescue pup 😁

[@anonobot3333]

I think it’s all about that personal space and oasis in your unit. ground floor ftw.

[@micah6811]

Mountain view ~ cooler and breezy vs. the Ocean view is ~ hot and warm (afternoon sun 3 to 5:30 ish) the sunset is the pro. The yard has potential to get "trashy" with leaves and whatever may fall from above neighbors!

[@okamicookie]

This is a lovely unit! Are those circular silver things vents? I haven’t seen a sun room in a long time. This one is nicely done. Having two parking spaces is amazing and a spacious garage too. Will keep an eye on this building and this listing. Nice work!

[@hikerbill9248]

Honest question, not trolling. I didn't see any fire sprinklers in these condos. Are they going to need to put them in eventually, or do they have them but I didn't see them? Is it because this condo is not in a high rise and maybe they're not required? Just kind of curious, thanks! Oh, and to answer your question...ocean view!

[@brendamclean8447]

Ocean view 100%😍This is such a beautiful condo! Love so much❤

[@starrysky2223]

Preferences! Ocean View if resale Yard / mountain view if long term living there, love the redone unit. 💙 My Dad lived close to the Ward Area in the new high rise Ko’ula (gorgeous building) for a short while 2023, and just relocated to Ko’Olina 4 months ago. I’m hoping to move out there and join him in maybe 5-6 years time. Also hoping we can get something together in Pupukea area long term. He lived in Kaaawa back in the 1990’s. Totally love your “Don’t Move Here” video 😂🤙. For now I’m living a good life in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Love it here but Dad’s getting up there in age by the time I make the jump. Think I’d adapt fairly easy. Same ‘ol issues here… with tourism, traffic, grocery store raids / insane holidays, homeless, road closures (blizzards). Just “Chill” people, it’s all gonna be okay 🙌 ❄️ / 🌊 either way.

[@michaellatta]

Yard unless the view is mostly unobstructed. Refinished tub less than a soaking tub (deeper and/or wider).

[@sheildingepicness]

Good video as always, a little shocked about the missing cabinet door though lmao

[@nanette5916]

I would want the yard. I can plant veggies, place with green grass for reading in a chair with green grass and flowers. I can have friends over and have a BBQ. Entertaining is huge.

[@davidcagle7094]

I would pick ocean view and balcony. I love the night city lights.

[@catabyte]

Ocean all the way, even partially obstructed. And I'd pass on the yard to get it. 🌊

[@RichardMeza]

Ocean view. I would want to be facing the action. Seeing the ocean and looking towards the action makes me want to go outside and do stuff outside the condo and sunsets. If I have mountain view, would feel more like I'm blocked in.

[@thebestthingthatneverhappe6729]

Wow yall sold this more than 2 months ago, i could never do a $1600 hoa for a 3br condo with small yard but great job selling this one

[@Beck-Stein]

I would prefer city view cause it’s constantly changing. Beautiful at night. Ocean and mountains are not viewable at night. Side by side parking is crazy good. In LA, there is no side by side and all tandem. You showed great insight that sellers do not understand nor see. Sellers look at the offer price only while not understanding some agents are challenging to work with as they nickel and dime. Only experienced agents know who is who. I am on board with Aiden. He and I think a like.

[@samdavis2711]

Yard as long as the balcony above doesn’t drain on me below. Ocean view 🤔then it has to be balcony…you ask hard questions 😂I want it alllll!!!!😂😂

[@tiffanietayrien13]

I prefer the yard for my pup! I can drive and get the view if I wanted and be fine with it.

[@davidbarker6899]

Mountain view, because its always changing with the rain and clouds, plus thats the direction of the wind so it would blow into your condo. The ocean, u can barely see.

[@cheapcardcollector]

Beautiful Condo but man that HOA fee is bananas! I guess not abnormal for Honolulu but still crazy. I vote for ocean view

[@TropicTrdr]

I've had bas luck with refinished tubs on my rentals; they end up peeling. It's new from now on...

[@vanessaroque4476]

Not the plantation worker LOL I loved the role play

[@movingtohawaii]

Ness!! Are you on fb? Hmu

[@davidbarker6899]

Roughly how much did that place go for?

[@kelbybmartin]

The yard with that place. But for me it would be a single family home with all 3.

[@cathyk808]

Mauka or Makai? I say Makai. View or Yard? I would say... whichever get the most square footage (because some lanai with the GORGEOUS view is so manini, no can even fit chair).

[@Arshoon]

From that unit/building, mountain view.

[@mt2766]

Yard, if the other side of the fence is not a parking lot. Otherwise, I’d take the view with morning sun: up with the sunshine and cool evenings.

[@arthurcurtis6373]

The view is a view no matter which direction...my main concern is the traffic. That location is gonna have heavy traffic into town. That will be a deal breaker for me.

[@BobbyHo2022]

It seems to me it is in town right near Punchbowl.

[@arthurcurtis6373]

​@BobbyHo2022 yes correct...sorry I was talking about the traffic going towards pear. I remember spending hours sitting trying to my anties house.

[@JWH808]

A friend of mine rented here… Pretty sure it was a penthouse.

[@jonniesantos]

View (Ocean or Mtn): Ocean View or Yard: View (higher elevation preferred)

[@anthonyta676]

How much is it ?

[@MikePearson-z5p]

With yards like this can you have a grill?

[@movingtohawaii]

Have to double check with HOA, but if grills are allowed I would assume it’s gas only. Many associations only allow gas and don’t allow charcoal.

[@craigdaniel6423]

Ocean or mountain View - mountain View or yard - Yard

[@ThatProGuy]

Yard over view forsure, which I realized after buying a condo with a great view. Maybe its just a grass is greener situation. I will say, my lanai door is always open and windows are always open and I never have to run AC cause of the breeze and rarely get any bugs inside. So ground floor with a yard may add AC costs and pest control costs. Tough decision.

[@toddbloxham6041]

No HOAs

[@sandrabarnwell8017]

Having my pets, the yard.

[@cochisenahuh7939]

Need the yard. Dog owner. Coming from single family home. But thats just my situation. Mahalo!

[@davidkosa]

Ocean view. Is the swell hitting, eh?

[@B1ack_Manta]

I heard the HOA fees a MF

[@oe1549]

Pro Mountain View’s..unless you live along da shoreline..if you own da property it don’t matter what view you get, it willl always hold value..ps if you can’t bbq then it ain’t a yard

[@leightonpahukula1856]

From that location, ocean, mountain or yard? Mountain. Too far to enjoy the ocean and with buildings in the way and the distance. Plus the breeze would come from the mountain considering the trades. Yard would give me more to take care. I'm a minimalist. lol

[@175elias]

Hi Derek will be sending you more buyers soon!

[@movingtohawaii]

Mahalo!

[@TropicTrdr]

Ocean, Mountain & then Yard...

[@creamcityleo]

Mountain view for me!

[@FreedomFinanceFun]

Yard >ocean >mountain

[@j.3854]

I'll take box 4, all three views, a hat trick of sorts.

[@KM-rl1ml]

Ocean views!

[@FluffyAlpaca81]

That tub is too small to matter whether new or not

[@emptybuddha5308]

Entertaining as it was, this video, w/o price and hoa fees info, was not very helpful…

[@leilanihimmelmann9190]

Totally agree. In fact, didn’t go through the whole video because lots of slow sale without key info. Just looked at comments for answer.

[@yenlard6683]

Because the prices are ridiculous 😂

[@Alfred_the_doodler]

MOUNTAIN!

[@SeaenDanyus]

Ocean for me but I do have dogs. Oh well.

[@galendrent6499]

ocean view

[@dollchristopher]

[@DsTAiiN8oh8]

Ocean

[@gardnert1]

If you love waitingon elevators just to walk your dog or do literally anything else outside your home, the condo living is for you!

[@guslevy3506]

If you love spending all of your free time fixing things around the house, SFH is the life for you! There are + and - to everything…

[@Krystalling]

Slow life for me! I’d rather wait on elevator than mow the grass, handle my own pest control, fix a leaky roof, or drive in traffic to go to the city

[@WhoKnows.572]

Mountain View

[@firekaialii]

The yard

[@susanschmidt2252]

Yard!

[@bvrsqzr3569]

I have no idea why anyone would want to move to Honolulu or Oahu. Specially if yyou'removing to Hawaii from the mainland. The crime and homelessness is insane.

[@reginaldnand2235]

view

[@BillyChu123]

If I can live in Hawaii, I don't care about the views

[@infinitytricks3716]

Ocean view.
