The Oahu real estate market is off to a mixed start this year, with moderate increases in home and condo sales in January, along with modest rises in median prices. However, other market indicators, like growing months of supply and declining competitive bid-ups, point to softer conditions. Despite these factors, Locations anticipates steady growth in home sales and prices in 2025, particularly if mortgage rates drop to the mid-sixes in the coming months as expected.

At Locations, we’re always looking for ways to better serve our clients and communities. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the opening of our new office in the luxury building Hokua, centrally located at 1288 Ala Moana Blvd., Suite 220 in Honolulu! Just steps from Ala Moana Beach Park and minutes from Kaka‘ako and Downtown Honolulu, our new Ward Village location makes it easier than ever to connect with us.

Think you can't find a single-family home on Oahu for less than $600,000? Think again! While the island-wide single-family home median price was more than $1million in December 2024, it's still possible to find a home for less than $600,000—if buyers are willing to be flexible when it comes to location and condition of the home.

Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year, officially falls on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, but celebrations for the Year of the Wood Snake are planned throughout late January and February on Oahu. Whether you’re a long-time resident or visiting for the first time, Chinese New Year celebrations are a memorable way to experience the beauty and traditions of Chinese culture. Kung Hei Fat Choi! (Happy New Year!)
