Lava Zone Financing
While all of Hawaii was created by volcanic activity, only Hawaii Island (The Big Island) has designated lava zones which may impact your home buying experience. Lava is numerically zoned 1 through 9, 1 bing the most active and 9 being the most dormant. Homes in lava zones 1 and 2 tend to cost less than other lava zones and often appeal to first time home buyers or non-residents searching online for an affordable Hawaii home. We provide purchase financing in lava zones 2 and up. We provide IRRL in lava zones 1 and up. A component to consider early in your search is access to homeowner’s insurance. The east side which includes Pahoa has an insured limit of $450,000 compared to the west side which includes Ocean View has an insured limit of $1,000,000.
