📊 OʻAHU SEPTEMBER 2026 MARKET REPORT

A lower median price doesn't always mean a slower market, and a higher median price doesn't always mean more homes are selling.

September's Oʻahu real estate data is a good example.

🏡 Single-Family Homes: The median sales price decreased 3.9% to $1,110,000, yet closed sales increased 6.2%. Homes also spent significantly less time on the market, with a median of just 16 days, down 38.5% year over year.

🏢 Condominiums: The median sales price increased 2.8% to $508,750, even as closed sales declined 8.1%. Median days on market rose slightly to 41 days.

The bigger picture?

Price trends, transaction activity, and marketing time don't always move in the same direction. Each provides a different perspective on the market, and together they help tell a more complete story.

For buyers and sellers, looking beyond a single statistic is essential to understanding current conditions and making well-informed decisions.

🏡 Let's take a closer look at what these trends mean for your property, neighborhood, or future plans. Send us a message!

August 2026 Oʻahu Market Insights

Oʻahu’s latest housing data points to continued strength in the single-family sector. Median sales price increased 12.2% year over year to $1,240,000, accompanied by a 1.9% increase in closed sales to 264. Median days on market decreased 22.7% to 17 days, indicating that homes that sold generally moved more quickly than they did last August.

Condominiums experienced more moderate conditions. Median sales price declined 1.0% to $510,000, while closed sales fell 6.6% to 365. At the same time, median days on market decreased 22.9% to 37 days.

For sellers, the single-family numbers highlight stronger pricing and shorter market times year over year. For buyers, softer condo pricing and sales activity may be worth watching, although individual opportunities will vary considerably by location, building, and price point.

Whether you're preparing to buy, considering a sale, or simply keeping an eye on the market, having the right local information matters. Let’s discuss your next move with confidence.

🏡 Oʻahu Market Update | July 2026

July brought stronger activity across Oʻahu’s housing market, with sales increasing and homes moving faster compared to last year.

Single-Family Homes
• Median Sales Price: $1,224,500 | ↑ 13.9%
• Closed Sales: 300 | ↑ 20.5%
• Days on Market: 14 | ↓ 30.0%

Condominiums
• Median Sales Price: $504,500 | ↑ 3.0%
• Closed Sales: 416 | ↑ 6.9%
• Days on Market: 38 | ↓ 24.0%

🔑 What does this mean for sellers?
Buyer activity remains strong, and homes are selling faster than they were a year ago. Single-family sellers received a median of 100% of their original asking price in July. With more new listings entering the market, however, the right pricing and presentation can make a big difference.

🔎 What does this mean for buyers?
Growing inventory means more homes to choose from, but desirable properties can still move quickly—especially single-family homes, which spent a median of just 14 days on the market. Being prepared with your budget, financing, and offer strategy can help when the right home comes along.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or curious about your home’s value, we’re here to help you understand the market and your options.
