The Truth About Hawaii Sea Level Rise Disclosures | Buying Hawaii Coastal Real Estate

Is Hawaii’s mandatory sea-level rise disclosure a structural death sentence for oceanfront real estate? Absolutely not.

Selling or buying coastal real estate in Hawaii requires navigating strict state mandates, specifically Hawaii Act 179, which mandates sellers to disclose if a property falls within a designated sea-level rise exposure area based on a projected 3.2-foot increase. For out-of-state buyers or international investors wiring eight figures from landlocked regions or the Asia-Pacific, this form can spark instant panic.

At Island Dragonfly, we don’t just hand over a disclosure and hold our breath. We neutralize the anxiety with hard, analytical reality. Being in an exposure area does not mean a premium property is destined to become an aquarium. Many luxury oceanfront parcels, particularly on the hardened volcanic rock of the Big Island or the elevated cliff faces of O’ahu, sit safely above the fray.

As a Principal Broker, I help local homeowners, mainland buyers, and international investors navigate these mapping technicalities. We preempt anxiety by providing current topographical surveys, hard elevation data, and structural engineering reports to prove a home’s true safety profile. Whether you are looking for an elevated coastal estate or preparing to list one, our sophisticated advisory ensures complete clarity on Hawaii’s unique topography.

Consulting with a licensed real estate professional is your first step to a secure investment.
