A. Kona is a big place. In general, housing on Oahu (median price is $600,000) is more than Kona, but not by much. (And both places cost way more than in Arizona. But the housing situation, like in Arizona, like in Oahu, is good for buyers in Kona. I don't think it would be hard for you to find a home between $400,000 to $500,000 which has a decent size and a close proximity to town. (Full disclosure, I work for a developer on the Big Island). I know of a certain developer in Kona that are helping their buyers get good financing. I'm going to assume that big real estate developers have the same deal.

Anyone know where I can get pure Kona coffee without paying an arm and a leg?
Q. They have it at The Fresh Market for $24.99 a pound. The blend is cheaper of course, at $8.99 a pound. I really want to try the pure, though.

A. Here's the Kona coffee farmer speaking who has just discovered this site: Pure, or 100% Kona coffee, is available for $18 and up on Ebay. Sometimes. But comes with shipping costs. And no guarantree to be the 'real stuff'. 100% Kona can go as high as $50 in the US and $80 in Europe. That depends on the brand and its marketing. And of course how FRESH it is. Kona BLENDS are nothing but inferior Central American beans, sometimes with 10% Kona beans included. Sold at a much higher price than the beans are worth. And doesn't taste like a Kona at all.
