So in that respect it is a good option, and location is also very good.These are all studio apartments with a living area of 392 SF (not too bad from Waikiki standard), however the price in this building has already gone much higher over the past few year.

Valuation only makes sense with respect to what you are willing and able to do to get this deal.
