Choices expand. Prices adjust. Buyers act.
Inventory is growing across Oahu, giving buyers more options than we’ve seen in months. Single-family home listings are up 3.7% year-over-year, while condo listings jumped 7.4%. Popular neighborhoods like Hawaii Kai, Kaneohe, Makakilo, and Waipahu are seeing more choices for buyers looking to make a move.
Sales remain steady overall, but pricing trends are shifting. Single-family home sales held flat compared to last year with 261 transactions. Condo sales rose 9.4%, reaching 443 units. Luxury homes priced at $1.9M and above surged 39%, though most closed below asking price. Meanwhile, mid-range single-family sales between $700K–$999K dipped nearly 19%.
What Sellers Should Know
Competitive pricing matters more than ever. If you’re thinking of selling, success today means:

- Addressing repairs and unknowns upfront
- Partnering with an agent who maximizes your property’s visibility and value
Homebuying Momentum
Mortgage applications for conventional, FHA, and VA loans are climbing. Buyers nationwide are taking advantage of more inventory and slower price growth. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, this is the strongest start to November since 2022.
