Congratulations to my client who officially closed on their new home at Koʻolani today 🔑🏡🎉

They are making the move from Seattle to Hawaii for retirement and I’m so happy I had the opportunity to help them find a place to call home for this next chapter of their life. After looking at different options, we found a spacious unit at Koʻolani that checked the boxes they were looking for and most importantly, felt like the right fit for them.

Buying a home while living thousands of miles away comes with a lot of moving parts, so I truly appreciate the trust they placed in me throughout the entire process. From our initial conversations and property search to inspections, coordinating everything from afar, and finally picking up the keys today, it has been a pleasure being a part of their journey.

I’m excited for them to make the move to Oahu, settle into their new home, and start enjoying everything they have been looking forward to in retirement. Congratulations again and welcome home 🌴🔑🏠

Excited to officially welcome my good friend Daniel Yamada to Compass and to my team 🤙🏻

Daniel and I have known each other for over 15 years, going all the way back to our tennis days when we worked at the same tennis shop. He was still in high school, I was in college, and neither of us could have imagined that all these years later we’d be working together in real estate 🔑🏡

After high school, Daniel went off to the University of North Dakota, where he pursued his passion for aviation and eventually became a pilot. He later returned home to Hawaii and now flies for Hawaiian Airlines 🌺✈️ He also speaks Japanese fluently, which is another great asset he brings with him as he begins his real estate career.

We’ve stayed in touch throughout the years, and a couple years ago I had the opportunity to help Daniel purchase his home at Koa Ridge. Having bought properties before and gone through the process himself, real estate was something he had always been interested in. Over time, we started talking more seriously about him getting his license and turning that interest into something more.

Fast forward to today, and I’m excited to have him joining me at Compass 🧭 as he starts this next chapter.

Knowing Daniel as long as I have, I know the work ethic, discipline, and genuine care he brings to everything he does. I’m looking forward to helping him grow in this business and excited to see where this new journey takes him.

Welcome to the team, Daniel! Looking forward to what’s ahead 🔑🏠🤙🏻✈️

Congratulations to my sellers, Thomas and Check on the successful sale of their condo at Royal Aloha in Waikiki today 🎉🔑

Thomas and Check's family have owned this unit since 1996, so it was great being able to help them with the sale after nearly 30 years of ownership. Thomas originally reached out to me after receiving a “Just Sold” mailer I sent to Royal Aloha for another unit I sold in the building back in 2023. It’s always nice to see how something as simple as a mailer can lead to an opportunity like this a few years later ✨

I’m very thankful to Thomas and Check for putting their trust in me throughout the process. It was a pleasure working with both of them and helping get the property sold and closed! Congratulations again, Thomas and Check, and thank you for allowing me to represent you! Wishing you both all the best 😁🤙🏻

Key Takeaways:

▪️Median Sales Price: The single-family home median sales price rose 13.9% year-over-year to $1,224,500, driven in part by a 76.9% increase in sales between $1,300,000 and $1,999,999 (from 52 to 92 transactions) and an 83.3% jump in sales at $2,000,000 and above (from 24 to 44 transactions). The condo median sales price rose 3% to $504,500.

▪️Median Days on Market: Buyer demand remained strong for single-family homes, with a median of just 14 days on market compared to 20 days a year ago, while condo median days on market fell to 38 days from 50.

▪️The share of single-family homes selling above asking price rose from 26% to 33%, with sellers receiving a median of 100% of their original asking price. Condo sellers received a median of 96.6% of the asking price, with 11% of sales closing above asking, up from 8% a year ago.

Congratulations to Deene on the successful sale of her Mililani Mauka home 🎉🏡🔑

Every home has a story and it was a privilege to help share this one. Before bringing the home to market, the home was professionally staged, featured with professional photography and video, and supported by a targeted digital marketing campaign. Open house weekend after launch brought an incredible response, with nearly 80 visitors, ultimately generating multiple offers and a final sales price of $50,000 over the asking price 🙌🏻

Thank you Deene for trusting me to guide you through such an important milestone. Selling a home is about so much more than the final sale. It’s about honoring the memories made there while helping make the next chapter a little easier. I’m truly grateful to have been part of your journey and I hope the new owners enjoy this home and create as many wonderful memories here as Deene did over the years 🌺🤙🏻

A big congratulations to my friend Taylor on the successful sale of his Aikahi Gardens townhome, which officially closed today 🎉🔑

This was a sale we had been planning since January, so it’s especially rewarding to see everything come together. We were able to find the perfect buyer who was moving back to the island and successfully close escrow in just 30 days.

I’m super grateful that Taylor gave me the opportunity to help him with his real estate goals. One of the best parts of this business is having the opportunity to help friends through important milestones like this. Thank you again for your trust and friendship, and congratulations on a successful closing 🤙🏻
