so many japanese people ask me “how much does it cost to buy a house in hawaii?” well, if you asked me 5 years ago, i’d say the median price was $500,000. if you ask me today, the median price is $719,500. prices are going up and up every year and if you want a decent house now days, expect to pay $1M. that’s ¥118810000 JPY. and if you take a loan on that amount, expect to pay $7,500/month. now ask me again 5 years later and i’ll tell you it’s impossible to buy a house here in hawaii. so if you want to buy, buy now before it’s too late.
