Puna Real Estate Market Update – March 2026

Big Island Real Estate, Market, Puna, , ,

The real estate market in the Puna District on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi continues to show steady activity as buyers search for affordability and space. While the overall Hawaiʻi Island housing market has shifted toward a more balanced environment, Puna remains one of the island’s most accessible areas for both homebuyers and land investors.

Across the district, the median home price is currently around $395,000, still significantly lower than many other parts of Hawaiʻi. Homes are generally taking three to four months to sell, giving buyers more time to evaluate properties while well-priced homes continue to attract strong interest.

Great Location for a Ready-made Nursery Business

Big Island Real Estate, Puna, , , ,

Great Location, convenient and easy to get to. The lot is just a very short distance from the end of South Kulani Rd. This lot is a perfect start for plant nursery. Ground is leveled and clear, growing area covered in plastic sheets to control weeds. Good soil in the growing area and a spot dug out for an irrigation pond.

Seller has created a huge stock of very valuable tree starters.  These trees and their seeds are highly prized and have an international market.  They can only grow in a few, very specific, locations in the world.  This lot in Hawaiian Acres is one of those locations. 

The lot is partially gated and fenced, with a second set of gates separating the commercial area from the living area. The survey of the lot included markers on each side of the lot to assist with locating the fence line. A house pad in front, leveled and ready to go. Electricity is available with no SSPP fee.  The potential is here for a home and business in one convenient, easily accessible location.
