Why Hilo attracts investors despite volcanic activity — and what that means for sellers
Affordability drives mainland investor interest
Hilo and Puna offer the lowest entry points in Hawaii real estate. Mainland investors seeking Hawaii property at mainland prices focus heavily on the Big Island's east side. This creates demand even for properties in lava zones or with infrastructure challenges.
Remote work has changed Big Island demand
The shift to remote work has brought new interest in Hilo's laid-back lifestyle. Buyers who once needed to live near offices now seek affordable Hawaii living. This growing demand means more investors interested in properties. Learn about how cash buyers calculate offers.
University of Hawaii and healthcare anchor the economy
UH Hilo and the Hilo Medical Center provide stable employment that supports housing demand. These anchor institutions, combined with tourism and agriculture, create diverse investor interest in Hilo properties.
Common reasons Big Island homeowners need to sell quickly
Whatever your situation, our marketplace can help you move forward.
Volcanic activity concerns
Properties near Kilauea or in lava zones face unique challenges. After the 2018 eruption, many owners want to sell. Our investors understand volcanic risk and buy regardless of zone.
Off-grid infrastructure
Catchment water, solar power, composting toilets — many Puna properties have alternative systems. Traditional buyers hesitate, but our investors specialize in off-grid homes.
Inherited Big Island property
Inherited a Hilo home or Puna lot while living on the mainland? Managing island property from thousands of miles away is nearly impossible. Sell quickly without repairs or flying back. Read our inheritance guide.
Cesspool conversion deadline
Hawaii's cesspool conversion requirement is approaching for priority areas. Don't want to spend $15K-$30K upgrading? Our investors buy cesspool properties and handle conversion after closing.
Vacant land you can't develop
Bought a Puna lot years ago but can't afford to build? Road access issues, lava zones, or infrastructure costs preventing development? Our investors buy vacant land throughout Puna.
Relocating to mainland
Big Island lifestyle isn't for everyone. If you're ready to move back to the mainland, our marketplace lets you close quickly without the hassle of managing a long-distance sale.
Hilo home selling questions answered
How is Propcash different from Big Island "we buy houses" companies?
Traditional cash buyers make one offer and hope you accept without shopping around. Propcash is a marketplace — we broadcast your property to our full network of vetted cash investors. More exposure typically means better offers. Big Island sellers often receive 3-5 offers within 24-48 hours. Learn about why multiple offers beat single buyers.
Do you buy properties in lava zones?
Yes! Many Hilo and Puna properties are in lava zones 1, 2, or 3. Our investors understand Big Island geology and volcanic risk. They buy properties regardless of lava zone designation — including areas affected by the 2018 Kilauea eruption.
Do you buy off-grid properties in Puna?
Absolutely. Many Puna properties lack county water, sewer, or grid power. Our investors buy homes with catchment water systems, solar power, composting toilets, and other alternative infrastructure. Off-grid living is no obstacle.
How fast can you close on a Hilo property?
We can close in as little as 7 days for urgent situations. Most Hilo closings happen within 10-14 days. Hawaii's escrow process is straightforward for cash deals. If you need more time, that's fine — you control the timeline.
Do you buy vacant land in Hawaiian Paradise Park?
Yes! Our investor network purchases vacant lots throughout Puna — Hawaiian Paradise Park, Hawaiian Acres, Orchidland, Hawaiian Beaches, Leilani Estates, and other subdivisions. Road access, lava zone, or infrastructure challenges don't stop our investors.
What about properties with cesspools?
We buy cesspool properties throughout Hilo and Puna. Hawaii's cesspool conversion deadline is approaching, and many owners don't want to spend $15K-$30K on upgrades. Our investors factor conversion costs into their offers and handle the work after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions?
Zero. No realtor commissions (typically 5-6% in Hawaii), no closing costs, no inspection fees, no hidden charges. Propcash is free for sellers. Investors pay a platform fee when deals close. The cash offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.
Do you buy houses in all Hilo area neighborhoods?
Yes! Our investor network covers all of East Hawaii — downtown Hilo (96720), Wainaku, Pepeekeo (96783), Papaikou (96781), Keaau (96749), Mountain View (96771), Kurtistown (96760), Pahoa (96778), and all Puna subdivisions.
What about properties affected by the 2018 eruption?
We purchase properties affected by the 2018 Kilauea eruption, including lots in Leilani Estates and surrounding areas. Whether your property was directly damaged or the neighborhood was impacted, our investors understand the situation and make offers accordingly.
Do I need to clean or repair my Hilo property before selling?
No. We connect you with investors who buy properties as-is — no cleaning, repairs, or prep required. Whether your property has termite damage, needs a cesspool conversion, or is overgrown jungle, investors will make offers on its current condition.
