There’s an impression, which I shared, that most of Kahala has been bought up by relatively recent investors.
So I did a search on property records for Old Kahala.
If found 1344 properties which listed “Old Kahala” as their location.
Then I searched for owner occupied properties, where the most receht sale was at least 15 years ago.
I was quite surprised by the result.
Of the total, 457 properties were owner occupied and owned by the same person for at least 15 years.
That’s just a hair over one-third of all the homes in Kahala.
I had guessed it might be as little as 10%, but the data show otherwise. That’s why more data is always good.
And I think the news data are good news for Kahala. At least a third of residents have lived here for at least 15 years. That’s the core of a community, for sure.
Over the next week or so, I’ll try to dig deeper into these data and see what other interesting tidbits emerge.
