We buy houses across Waiakea Uka and 96720
From Komohana Street and the UH Hilo area up Ainaola Drive and Kupulau Road into the rainforest lots of upper Waiakea, Propcash buys houses across upslope Hilo.
Propcash also buys houses in the historic core of Downtown Hilo, on the rebuilt Waiakea peninsula, and upslope in Kaumana, across Hilo, and throughout Hawaii.
A rainforest house on a big lot? We buy it as-is.
Upper Hilo gets the rain, and the larger lots up here come with catchment, cesspools, and steady wet-climate wear. We expect all of it and buy the house without asking you to fix a thing.
-
Rainwater catchment
A house on catchment rather than county water stalls FHA and VA buyers on testing and storage rules; we buy it as-is
-
Wood rot and mold
Heavy upslope rain leaves rot and mold on older houses; we factor it into the offer
-
A cesspool on a large lot
Upper-Hilo houses on cesspools face the 2050 conversion mandate; we take that on, you do not

Overgrown acreage
A big rainforest lot gone wild is fine with us; you do not have to clear it before selling

Leave what you do not want; we handle the cleanout after closing

Understanding the Waiakea Uka housing market
Upper Hilo and the university
Waiakea Uka is the rainforest slope above town, home to larger residential lots and close to the University of Hawaii at Hilo and Hilo Medical Center. Faculty, staff, medical workers, and long-time owners move in and out on academic and job timelines, which is exactly when a firm closing date beats a listing.
Catchment, cesspools, and rain
Upslope of the county water lines, some Waiakea Uka houses run on rainwater catchment, which FHA and VA loans treat with extra requirements, and many older houses still run on cesspools facing the 2050 mandate. Add the heavy upslope rain and its rot, and a cash sale is often simpler than a financed one.
What the market data says
Redfin put the Hilo median sale price of all home types near $558,700, up about 1.6 percent year over year (Redfin, June 2026), while Zillow's typical home value for Hilo sat near $480,000, down about 0.8 percent year over year (Zillow, mid-2026), and the island-wide single-family median was about $549,500 (Locations Hawaii, July 2026). The measures differ; none is a Waiakea Uka figure, so we price your house on its own.
Inherited and relocating owners
Waiakea Uka draws both long-held family houses and owners leaving on university and medical postings. Hawaii's small-estate affidavit cannot transfer a house (HRS 560:3-1201), so an inherited house opens probate under the state Uniform Probate Code; a direct cash buyer can also close around a fixed move-out date.
A direct cash homebuyer is a company that purchases houses itself, with its own funds, rather than listing them for sale or finding buyers on a seller's behalf. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we make the offer, we are the buyer, and the seller pays no commissions or fees. Sellers skip repairs, listings, and showings, and pick their own closing date.
Common situations we help Waiakea Uka owners navigate
Whatever brought you here, Propcash can make you a fair cash offer.
Relocating for a posting
A move for a university or medical job comes with a hard date. Close on your schedule instead of managing a listing from away.
A house on catchment water
Catchment stalls FHA and VA buyers on testing and storage rules. We buy upper-Hilo houses on catchment as-is and take that on.
Inherited a rainforest house
You inherited a larger upslope lot and live elsewhere. Get a cash offer and sell as-is; we can work through Hawaii probate.
An overgrown large lot
A rainforest acre gone wild is a project a buyer would price against you. We buy it as-is, brush and all.
A cesspool conversion looming
The 2050 mandate means an eventual septic conversion. If you would rather not carry that, a cash sale is one way out.
Estate or divorce settlement
When a Waiakea Uka house has to become cash and be divided fairly, a transparent offer and a firm date help everyone move on.
The Propcash Promise
We don't believe in high-pressure sales tactics. Here's how we put that commitment into action for Waiakea Uka sellers.
No expiration date
Take all the time you need to consider an offer, we'll never push a hard deadline.
No aggressive follow up
We follow up on your schedule. We'll never send unsolicited marketing emails, drip campaigns, or phone blasts.
We'll tell you if we're not the right buyer
If listing with an agent would serve you better, we'll point you to a local agent. We're always straightforward and transparent.
Frequently asked questions about selling in Waiakea Uka
What parts of Waiakea Uka do you buy in?
We buy houses throughout the 96720 zip code across upper Hilo: the Komohana Street and UH Hilo area, up Ainaola Drive and Kupulau Road, along Kilauea Avenue, and into the upper Waiakea rainforest lots. If your house is in Waiakea Uka, we buy there.
My house is on catchment water. Can you still buy it?
Yes. A house on rainwater catchment rather than county water stalls FHA and VA buyers on water-quality and storage rules. We buy catchment houses as-is and price it into our number.
I am relocating for a university or medical job. Can you close around my move?
Yes. A posting at UH Hilo or Hilo Medical Center comes with a fixed date. We can close in as few as 7 days or on the date your move requires, so you are not carrying the house from away.
My lot is large and overgrown. Will you still buy it?
Yes. A big rainforest lot gone wild is fine with us. You do not have to clear the brush or the trees; we buy it as-is and handle it after closing.
I inherited a Waiakea Uka house. Can you help with probate?
Often, yes. Hawaii's small-estate affidavit cannot transfer a house (HRS 560:3-1201), so an inherited house opens probate under the state Uniform Probate Code. We buy as-is and can work with your timeline. We are not attorneys and do not give legal advice.
What about the cesspool on my property?
We buy houses on cesspools. Hawaii's Act 125 requires all cesspools be converted by 2050, and upslope conversions can run high. We take the house as-is and factor it into our number.
Are there really no fees or commissions?
None. No agent commissions, no closing costs, no hidden fees. Propcash is free for sellers, and the cash offer you accept is what you receive at closing.
How do I sell my house fast for cash in Waiakea Uka?
Answer a few quick questions about your house, and we review it against local Hilo market data to make a fair cash offer, usually within 24 hours. If you accept, you pick the date and can close in as few as 7 days, with no fees or commissions.
