Oahu Real Estate Market Report For July 2022

The Oahu real estate market is continuing to cool off, with declines in sales in both the condo and single-family home market. As sales slow down, new listings have followed with less new listings added to the market than the previous year. Active inventory is up in both markets as well, signaling that buyers may be gaining back some ground in negotiations - though how much ground that is remains to be seen.

One indication of this is the lowering percentage of sales closing over list price. Condos dipped only slightly, while single-family homes had a larger change compared both to the previous year and the previous month.

Oahu Single Family Home Market Stats

The median sales price for Oahu single family homes during the month of July 2022 was $1,107,994 - up 11.6% from the same month last year and is up 16.9% year-to-date..

The single family home market on Oahu is seeing an increase in the active inventory available for July 2022, up 38.8% compared to July 2021. This is despite a 17.7% decrease in new listings added to the market during the same time period.  To put this in perspective however, there were 595 active listings at the time of this posting.  Compare that to 814 active listings at the height of the 2006 market boom and you can see that inventory is still significantly restricted.

Closed sales for single family homes have declined across most areas of Oahu, down 22.8% year over year. The Ewa Planes, Kane‘ohe, and Leeward regions have seen the largest decline. 49% of single family home sales in July 2022 closed above the original asking price, down from 62% percent in June 2022.
