Hawaii New Homes FAQ's
Doesn't Zillow, Realtor.com, & similar platforms show me new construction homes on Oahu?
Nope. These platforms can only aggregate information on homes that have already been built and entered into the MLS. In a way, the platforms "can't see" these homes becomes they don't yet exist. What you may find is the name of certain Master Development Plans like Hoopili or Koa Ridge for instance, because they have been building homes for the past couple years but they are not equipped to tell you how to schedule a model home tour, when the next lottery releases will be, nor will the agents on the other side of your Zillow inquiry know the ins and outs of EACH development and how to navigate the purchase process.
