# Hawaii Property

[Hawaii real estate](https://www.hawaiiliving.com/oahu-mls/) is ***expensive**.* It always has been, and always will be compared to many other US locations. The four primary reasons are:

1. **High demand** for ‘paradise.’
2. The **scarcity of *****buildable***** land,** – This is an island state.
3. **High shipping costs**, – No other major population center in the world is this remote, surrounded by more ocean than Honolulu.
4. **Lack of incentives for developers to build**. – Governmental red tape and thin profit margins due to expensive land and development cost prevent developers from offering *truly* affordable housing solutions. Some developers migrate to other *easier,* more *lucrative* mainland markets to develop.
