🏡 OʻAHU HOUSING MARKET UPDATE | Q3 + SEPTEMBER
Oʻahu’s housing market closed out the third quarter with single-family home sales continuing to rise, while condo sales remained below last year’s levels.

Here’s what happened in September:
📈 Single-Family Homes
• Sales increased 6.2% year-over-year
• Q3 sales were up 9.3%
• Year-to-date sales increased 5.9%
• Median sales price: $1,110,000 — down 3.9% from last year
• Median days on market: 16 days, down from 26
• 39% of sales closed below $1 million
• 31% sold above the original asking price, up from 25%

🏢 Condos
• Sales decreased 8.1% year-over-year
• Q3 sales were down 2.7%
• Year-to-date sales decreased 2.4%
• Median sales price: $523,000 — up 2.8%
• Median days on market: 41 days
• 47% of sales closed below $500,000
• 12% sold above the original asking price, up from 8%

💰 More inventory under $500K
Across both markets, 188 properties priced at $500,000 or below sold in September, while 1,222 active listings in that price range remained at month-end.

📊 Inventory
• Single-family homes: 798 active listings, unchanged from last year
• Condos: 2,509 active listings, up 7.8%

What does this mean for buyers & sellers?
The market continues to show different trends depending on property type and price point. Single-family homes are moving faster and seeing steady demand, while condo buyers appear to be taking more time to evaluate borrowing costs and their options.
With mortgage rates putting additional pressure on monthly budgets, pricing, preparation, and strategy matter more than ever.

Thinking about buying or selling on Oʻahu? Let’s talk about what these numbers mean for your specific neighborhood and price range. 🌺

🏠 FEE SIMPLE vs. LEASEHOLD IN HAWAIʻI — WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Ever see a Hawaiʻi condo priced WAY below similar properties nearby? 👀

Before you think you've found the deal of the century, check one important detail:

Is it Fee Simple or Leasehold?

🏡 FEE SIMPLE
You generally own the property and your interest in the land it sits on. For condos, that includes your unit and an interest in the common elements.

🌴 LEASEHOLD
You purchase an interest in the property, but not the underlying land. Instead, the land is leased for a specific period of time.

Before buying Leasehold, ask:

⏳ When does the lease expire?
💰 What is the monthly lease rent?
📈 When can the lease rent increase?
🏦 Are there financing restrictions?
🏠 How could the remaining lease affect resale?
📅 What happens when the lease ends?

A shorter remaining lease can affect financing, resale options, and potentially the property's value.

💡 THE TAKEAWAY

Leasehold isn't automatically bad, and Fee Simple isn't automatically right for everyone.

That $150K Waikīkī condo may look like a steal compared with the $500K condo next door—but there may be a reason for the price difference.

Know what you're buying before you make the offer. 🏝️🏠

🏠 Ready to make an offer on your Oahu home? Before you do, I’ll help you dig into these 5 key points with a personal touch:
1️⃣ PRICE HISTORY - Understanding how the price has changed helps us know the seller’s mindset.
2️⃣ DAYS ON MARKET - A fresh listing or a long-timer calls for different strategies.
3️⃣ RECENT SALES - What have buyers recently paid nearby?
4️⃣ MONTHLY COSTS - HOA fees and taxes matter just as much as the price.
5️⃣ DISCLOSURES - Repairs or assessments can shape our offer and negotiation.
As a retired Army Warrant Officer, I get how a PCS move adds pressure, so let’s plan together for a smart offer that fits your needs! 📲

🏠 HOW CAN A SELLER CREDIT WORK FOR YOU WHEN BUYING A HOME?

Buyers often focus on price reductions when negotiating, but a seller credit can be just as valuable. For example, on a $750,000 home, a $15,000 seller credit might cover closing costs, prepaid expenses, discount points to lower interest rates, or a temporary rate buydown, depending on your loan program and lender.

💰 This can reduce cash needed at closing or lower monthly payments. Understanding all options helps create a deal that fits your financial needs.

📲 Considering a home purchase on Oahu? Early planning and local guidance can make a big difference.

Seller credits and uses vary by loan and transaction, examples are educational only.

🏡 Oʻahu Real Estate Market Update | August 2026

The latest market numbers are in, and single-family homes and condos are telling two different stories.

🏠 Single-family homes remain competitive: Sales increased 1.9%, the median price reached $1.24M, and homes spent a median of just 17 days on the market.

🏢 Condos may offer buyers more opportunity: The median price was $510K, sales declined 6.6%, and increased inventory is giving buyers more choices. Most notably, 48% of condos sold in August closed below $500K.

💡 What does this mean for you?
Sellers of single-family homes continue to benefit from strong demand, while condo buyers may have more room to shop, compare, and negotiate.

Thinking about buying, selling, investing, or using your VA benefits on Oʻahu? Let’s talk about what these numbers mean for your situation.

📲 Send me a message—I’d be happy to help.
