Honolulu Real Estate April Statistics:

O'ahu Home Prices Ease as Sales Volume Declines
April saw a modest decline in sales activity across O'ahu's housing market, with single-family home sales down 4.6% year-over-year to 230 transactions and condo sales dropping 4.3% to 378. Median sales prices in both markets also recorded slight decreases, with single-family homes down 1.7% and the condo median price dipping 1.0% to $500,0000.

Highlights from our April Monthly Statistics Report:
Properties priced at $500,000 and below accounted for 193 sales in April and 666 year-to-date, with 1,168 active listings in that price range.
Sales activity increased across select price ranges, with single-family home sales in the $900,000 to $1,099,999 range up 37.8% year over year. Condo sales rose in both the $400,000 to $499,999 and $1,000,000 to $1,999,999 ranges, up 26.9% and 50.0%, respectively.
Properties moved at a quicker pace compared to last year, with single-family homes spending a median of 24 days on market, down from 29 days, while condos decreased from 43 to 38 days.
Pending sales indicated continued buyer engagement, with single-family home contract signings up 1.5% year-over-year and condo pending sales increasing 8.0%.
"Broader economic factors, including mortgage rates, condo insurance, and overall affordability, are influencing how buyers approach the market. Increased contract signings in both markets are encouraging and indicate buyers remain engaged and continue to move forward with the right opportunities presented," said Aaron Tangonan, president of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®.

Honolulu March Real Estate Market:
Single-Family Home Sales Increase in March While Condo Activity Softens
March brought increased activity in O'ahu's single-family home market, particularly among homes priced below $1 million, while condominium/townhome activity was more measured compared to a year ago. Single-family home sales rose 26.2% year-over-year to 260 transactions, while condo sales declined 4.9% to 351. Median sales prices in both markets recorded modest increases, with single-family homes rising 3.4% and condominium median prices increasing 2.0% to $510,000.

Highlights from our March Monthly Statistics Report:
Properties priced at $500,000 and below accounted for 178 sales in March and 473 year-to-date, with 1,138 active listings in that price range.
Nearly 50% of condominium sales occurred in the $300,000 to $599,999 range, with single-family home transactions at $999,999 and below rising 31.9% year-over-year.
Days on market: Homes spent slightly more time on the market, with single-family homes at a median of 21 days compared to 15 days last March, while condominiums increased from 40 to 43 days.
Active inventory: At the end of March, inventory remained limited for single-family homes, ending with 691 active listings, down 10.6% year-over-year, while condominium inventory was relatively unchanged with 2,294 condo listings, a 0.3% dip.
"We continue to see encouraging activity below the $1 million price range, which is an important indicator for local buyers and overall market accessibility," said Aaron Tangonan, president of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. "As more resources and programs become available for first-time homebuyers, we're hopeful this will help sustain momentum, particularly among local residents."
