Happy Aloha Friday 🌺

Has the Oahu condo market finally turned the corner?

The latest May 2026 housing numbers reveal two very different real estate stories on Oahu. Single-family homes remain firmly in a seller's market, with inventory at historically low levels and homes selling in just 13 days on average. 📈

Meanwhile, the condo market may finally be showing signs of stabilization. Condo inventory has declined for the second consecutive month, prices are up 4% year-over-year, and months of supply are beginning to trend lower.

For buyers, especially those looking at condos or luxury properties above $2 million, there may be some of the best opportunities we've seen in years. For sellers, understanding where demand is strongest could make all the difference in today's market.

Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, investing, or simply keeping an eye on Oahu real estate, these trends are worth watching closely.

What do you think—has the condo market finally found its footing, or is there still more adjustment ahead? Share your thoughts below. 👇

Did Honolulu's condo market just hit a turning point?

The latest sales across Waikiki, Kakaako, and Makiki are telling three very different stories. One Waikiki condo recently sold for $415,000 after owners once expected it to fetch well over $600,000. Meanwhile, a Kakaako condo sold for $50,000 above recent comparable sales, showing that demand remains strong for the right property.

What's even more interesting is what's happening in Makiki. After taking a significant hit during the condo correction, we're starting to see signs of a rebound, with some sales approaching price levels not seen since before 2024. 📈

For years, rising insurance costs, fire safety assessments, and aging infrastructure have weighed heavily on Honolulu's condo market. But inventory is beginning to shift, buyer activity is increasing, and some neighborhoods may be entering a new phase.

Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or investing in Honolulu real estate, understanding what's happening at the neighborhood level has never been more important.

Looking for a move-in-ready condo in Waikiki with amazing views?

I just toured a beautifully remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo at Canal House on the Diamond Head side of Waikiki, and it's one of the best turnkey opportunities I've seen recently.

This unit has been completely renovated with:
✨ Brand-new kitchen appliances
✨ Updated bathroom
✨ In-unit washer and dryer
✨ New AC units
✨ Custom closet storage
✨ Private lanai

The views are hard to beat. From the 15th floor you'll enjoy the Ala Wai Canal, Ala Wai Golf Course, Koʻolau Mountains, and even some beautiful sunrise views. You can also watch outrigger canoe paddlers pass by on the canal throughout the day.

Canal House offers a secure entry, swimming pool, sauna, and a fantastic location directly across from the Ala Wai Canal and just minutes from Waikiki Beach, Kapiolani Park, shopping, dining, and entertainment.

If you've been searching for a primary residence, second home, or investment property in Waikiki, this one is worth a look.

Did you know some Oahu neighborhoods are seeing home prices jump while others are slowing down? 📈

The April 2026 Oahu real estate market update revealed some surprising shifts across Honolulu and West Oahu.

Home sales from Downtown Honolulu to Nuuanu skyrocketed 167% year-over-year, while Makaha to Nanakuli saw median home prices surge 31%. Meanwhile, the Wahiawa condo market posted a massive 135% increase in median condo prices.

But here’s the bigger story…

More than half of Oahu’s major neighborhoods actually saw declining single-family home sales. The condo market performed slightly better, showing how dramatically local market conditions can vary from one community to another.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing in Hawaii real estate, understanding hyper-local trends has never been more important.

Did you know only 1% of condos in Honolulu have 3 parking stalls? 🚗

Most Honolulu condos come with just one parking space.
Some don’t include parking at all.

Out of more than 2,100 condos currently for sale,
only 23 listings offer three parking stalls or more.

That makes these properties incredibly rare in today’s Honolulu real estate market.

David Buck with Harcourts Island Real Estate just broke down the latest condo parking statistics across Honolulu, Waikiki, and Oahu — plus showcased two beautiful listings currently available with THREE covered parking stalls.

One features incredible Diamond Head and ocean views.
The other offers over 1,400 square feet with a spacious lanai and secure amenities 🌴

For buyers with multiple vehicles, guests, or long-term investment goals, extra parking can make a huge difference in both convenience and future value.

Would three parking stalls be a must-have for your next condo in Honolulu?
