Here's the thing, Hawaii can be a beautiful place, but a lot of it is old and run down, and costs a fortune to live there!
You're not living in a nice home and driving nice vehicles unless you have a few million, that's fact!
My wife's family is from there, and a lot still live on Oahu. Most of them live in Condos or town homes because they can't afford to buy a house. Her aunt and uncle have a home in St Louis heights. I've been there, I've seen it. The home is a dump like all the homes on this show. You're paying for the land, and the view, even on this show.
This family spends over half a million to buy a run down piece of garbage, then has to pump in two hundred thousand, or more, to rebuild and renovate the home. Of course it's gonna sell for over a million, that's the way it works. If they don't sell it for that much, they'd be out of business.
To the reviewer saying they're false advertising, I call bs. If a local doesn't have that kind of money, too bad, someone else does, and it's a business, not a charity. They have to take the highest offer.
Anyway, I like the couple, and their design choices.
Update 2/18/25 season 2 premiere. I'm glad to see a second season. We have family in pearl city, so episode 1 of season2 was interesting. Tristyn annd Kamohai are so cool I wanna be friends with them lol! Unfortunately we live in Las Vegas, and don't have the kind of coin to be a player there, but we can dream right?!
