This is my Kauai Foreclosures, Kauai REO banked own list. It is updated monthly.
Upcoming Kauai Foreclosures:
- 4049 Kaahumanu Place, Princeville. TMK 4-5-4-16-13. This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home of approximately 1,826 sqft on a 9,984 sqft lot. For more information contact Kauai Foreclosure Commissioner Ginger Grinpas, (808) 245-9991 or Ginger@Kauairealestatelaw.com. Open houses held September 20 and September 27, from 12pm – 3pm. The sale is scheduled for this Friday, October 3, 2025 noon at the courthouse steps. I went to the sale. I had a client who was considering bidding, but after I saw the house, the client and I felt it would be bidded up past his price range. However I was curious. You never know. So I went. There were multiple bidders there. The bank bid approximately $450,000. This house shouldn’t have gone to foreclosure, but people can be idiots. 2 bidders were then bidding by approximately 5K increments. That was getting tiring. Around when the bid was at 661K a third bidder, bid 1 million. Thats the way to do it. Get to a realistic figure. It then went to 1.1 mil, then the 3rd bidder bid 1.2 million, and it was sold. Bidding can reopen for 5% higher at court confirmation.

Commentary:
Deal hunting can be fun, but it is competitive. Of the 4 properties I have personally bid at and won at the courthouse steps, there were no other bidders. But I did loose one at court confirmation. (My husband regrets we didn’t bid higher.)85K for a house in Kilauea. I don’t like to bid against competitors. In my successful Kauai foreclosure purchases there were a couple reasons there were no competitors. Besides foreclosure buying not being popular years ago. The main reason was because it was near the holidays. Foreclosure sales do happen in December, but what a busy time of year. The 2nd reason was that the property wasnt a deal. Not enough equity in it for deal hunters, but with rapid appreciation the house has become a great investment. There are other deals besides foreclosures. The people who usually buy them are the buyers who can make a decision and move fast.
