With shifting national interest rates and evolving local regulations, navigating the Hawaii housing market requires a clear, practical strategy. In this live episode, Derek and Jodie Tanga break down where VA and conventional mortgage rates currently sit, explain why buying down points isn't always the smartest financial move, and discuss upcoming changes to condo reserve requirements. They also answer viewer questions about finding community after moving to the islands, local driving etiquette, and how changing island dynamics impact buyers and homeowners across Oahu.
