Why Waiakea owners choose Propcash
Waiakea is the peninsula that was rebuilt after the 1960 tsunami swept it away, and its houses run from 1960s rebuilds to newer stock along the ponds and canals. Much of it still sits in a tsunami evacuation zone, which slows a financed buyer. Instead of waiting out that on the open market, you can get a fair cash offer for the house as it stands.
- We buy Waiakea houses as-is, from 1960s rebuilds to newer stock
- We work through inherited and estate situations that have to clear Hawaii probate first
- No obligation, walk away anytime

Understanding the Waiakea housing market
The peninsula the 1960 tsunami rebuilt
On May 23, 1960 a tsunami from the great Chilean earthquake struck the Waiakea peninsula with a wave near 35 feet, leveling the district and taking about 61 lives. The destroyed bayfront became Wailoa River State Park as a buffer, and the houses that stand today are the rebuild and the newer stock behind it, most of it still inside a mapped tsunami evacuation zone.
Flood zones and financed buyers
The same low ground and canals that make Waiakea green keep much of it in flood and tsunami zones, where financed buyers hesitate on insurance and appraisal. A cash buyer who takes the zone as-is turns a slow sale into a simple 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). The two measure different things, and neither is a Waiakea figure; we price your house on its own.
Inherited and downsizing owners
Many Waiakea houses have been held since the rebuild by owners now aging in place or passing them to heirs. Hawaii's small-estate affidavit cannot transfer a house (HRS 560:3-1201), so an inherited Waiakea house opens probate before it can be sold; a direct cash buyer works on that timeline.
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 owners navigate
Whatever brought you here, Propcash can make you a fair cash offer.
A house in the flood zone
Buyers stall on flood insurance near Wailoa and the canals. We buy in the flood and tsunami zone as-is and take it on.
Downsizing from the family home
You have held the house since the rebuild and it is a lot to keep up now. Sell as-is on your timeline, no staging.
Inherited a Waiakea house
You inherited a house by the gardens and live elsewhere. Get a cash offer and sell as-is; we can work through Hawaii probate.
A dated rebuild you will not update
Original 1960s finishes that a retail buyer wants redone are fine with us. Sell as-is instead of remodeling.
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 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 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
What parts of Waiakea do you buy in?
We buy houses throughout the 96720 zip code across Waiakea: the Wailoa area and Banyan Drive, along Lokoaka Street and Kanoelehua Avenue, the Waiakea Houselots, and the blocks by Liliuokalani Gardens. If your house is in Waiakea, we buy there.
My house is in the tsunami or flood zone. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Much of Waiakea sits in the evacuation and inundation zone, which stalls financed buyers on insurance and appraisal. We buy in the flood and tsunami zone as-is and price it into our number.
My house is an older 1960s rebuild. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Original finishes, single-wall sections, rot, and termite damage on a rebuild are exactly what we expect. We buy as-is, so you skip the update before selling.
I inherited a Waiakea house. Can you help with probate?
Often, yes. Hawaii's small-estate affidavit cannot transfer a house (HRS 560:3-1201), so an inherited Waiakea 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 that looming cost scares off many financed buyers. We take the house as-is and factor it into our number.
How fast can you close on a Waiakea house?
We can close in as few as 7 days when you need speed, or later if a move or an estate needs time. You pick the closing date.
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?
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.
