New Year Sees Home Sales Fall by Half, Median Sales Prices Dip Modestly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new year began with closed sales of O‘ahu properties falling significantly year-over-year, with single-family homes dropping 54.0% and condos declining 50.2%. After 17 consecutive months of single-family home prices reaching $1,000,000 or more, January ended with a single-family home median sales price of $970,000, representing a 7.6% decline compared to January 2022. The condo market also saw the median sales price dip 2.9% to $495,000. “The median sales price for a single-family home on O‘ahu fell below the $1,000,000 mark because costlier financing is placing some downward pressure on prices,” says Fran Villarmia-Kahawai, president of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. “Sellers are having to adjust their approach as buyer demand wanes due to elevated interest rates.” Properties are spending a median of 24 days on the market, roughly double the time compared to last year when the median for single-family homes was 12 days, and the condo median was 14 days. New listings are also slowing, dropping 16.3% for single-family homes and 21.5% for condos. Despite this, active inventory continues to grow compared to 2022, up 77.2% in the single-family home market and 23.7% in the condo market.

Hawaii’s premier pop-up market has 2 locations, both on Oahu. Whether in Kailua or Honolulu, you’re bound to spend quality time here. There seems to be, in principle, almost nothing you can’t find at the Aloha Home Markets - except, we suppose, non-Hawaiian-made products.
