🏝️ Hawaii Housing Market: What Buyers and Sellers Should Know
Hawaii’s housing market continues to show a mix of strong prices, changing inventory, and different conditions depending on the island and property type.
On Oʻahu, the latest data from the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® shows that the median price for a single-family home reached $1,224,500 in July 2026, while the median condominium price was $504,500.
🏠 Oʻahu Market Activity
The latest July figures showed more transactions than a year earlier, with single-family home sales increasing 20.5% and condominium sales rising 6.9%.
That suggests demand remains present, even as buyers continue to navigate Hawaii’s high housing costs.
📊 Prices Remain Elevated
Single-family home prices on Oʻahu remain well above the national average, while condominium prices have also continued to rise compared with last year.
For buyers, that means affordability remains an important part of the decision-making process.
For sellers, strong pricing doesn’t necessarily mean every property will sell quickly. Condition, location, pricing, and property type can all make a difference.
🌴 Conditions Vary Across the Islands
Hawaii isn’t one single real estate market.
Oʻahu, Maui, Hawaiʻi Island, and Kauaʻi can experience very different levels of inventory, buyer demand, pricing, and days on market.
Recent Maui data, for example, shows a market where inventory and sales activity can vary considerably between single-family homes and condos.
💡 What This Means for Homeowners
Thinking about selling?
Make sure your asking price reflects recent comparable sales and the condition of your property. Small improvements and strong presentation can help your home stand out.
Thinking about buying?
Look beyond the listing price. Mortgage costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and association fees can all affect the true cost of owning a home in Hawaii.
🔎 The Bottom Line
Hawaii’s housing market remains high-value and highly local.
The best decisions come from understanding what is happening in your specific island, neighborhood, and property type—not just looking at statewide headlines.
🏡 Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on your property’s value, local market data matters.
