Locations’ analysis found that 36 percent of Oahu single-family neighborhoods had an increase in the number of sales, while nine percent had no change in sales. Single-family home neighborhoods that had at least double the number of sales last period compared to the previous year include: Koko Kai, Hoakalei-Kuapapa, Waipio Acres/Waikalani, Haleiwa and Keapuka.

More than half of Oahu's single-family home neighborhoods and condominium buildings have more available inventory than last year and a decrease in bid-ups. For home sellers, who may have faced a smaller buyer pool and longer days on market over the past several months, lower interest rates are welcome news, as more buyers may come back to the market. Median prices also rose in 66 percent of single-family neighborhoods and 60 percent of condo buildings, indicating demand is still strong.

Locations—Hawaii’s leading real estate firm—published its Oahu Residential Real Estate Report for the 12-month period of April 2018 to March 2019.

Condominium median prices were flat at $418,000.
