Oahu Real Estate Market Report For June 2022

The Oahu real estate market is showing signs of moderating as the number of sales for homes and condos was down this past month. Though prices continue to increase, the rate at which the increase is occurring is lessening - a sign that there are fewer buyers in the market. In general we are on track to have our second highest number of sales in the past 13 years, above pre-pandemic level.

Inventory for both single family homes and condos is still very tight and unless this changes, competition for homes and condos will continue for buyers and will put upward pressure on prices. 60% of homes were bid up above the list price last month while 43% of condos were bid up above the list price. Homes and condos are still selling in near record time.
