Hawaii Real Estate Statistics January 2024

Here is an overview of the real estate market statistics for January 2024 by island:

Oahu Real Estate Market Statistics:

Single-Family Homes: There were 190 transactions in this market, and the average time a home was listed was 29 days. The median sales price was $1,010,000, little less than the average asking price of $1,300,000. This category had a total dollar volume of about $249.34 million.

Condos: In the condominium market, 294 properties were sold, with an average listing period of 30 days. The median sales price was $500,000. The average asking price was $602,100. Condo sales brought in a total of almost $174.18 million.

Land: Only 9 transactions totaled in land sales, but the median price was substantially higher at $1,420,000, resulting in a total dollar volume of $16.18 million.

This image shows a healthy Oahu real estate market, with single-family homes leading the way in terms of volume and median sales price, followed by land and condominiums.

Big Island Real Estate Market Statistics:

Single-Family Homes: There were 157 transactions, and the average time spent on the market was 52 days. The median sales price was significantly lower at $499,000. The average list price was set at $1,100,000. About $160.65 million was the overall dollar volume for single-family dwellings.

Condos: There were 32 sales in the condominium market, with an average of 48 days on the market. Condos had an average list price of $770,800, but a higher median sales price of $608,500 was seen. This category had a total dollar volume of about $24.33 million.

Land: With 141 transactions, there were more sales of land. With a median sales price of $45,500, land had a relatively low dollar volume of $27.76 million when compared to the other categories.

In contrast to single-family homes, which have fewer sales, condominiums have a higher median sales price, suggesting a broad real estate market with a considerable amount of land transactions at lower values. In terms of dollar volume, the single-family house market seems to be the biggest.

Kauai Real Estate Market Statistics:

Single-Family Homes: A total of 29 sales occurred, with an average of 67 days spent on the market. With a median sales price of $1,430,000, the average asking price was a significant $2,600,000. $72,323,710 was the total dollar volume for single-family dwellings.

Condos: There were 16 sales of condominiums in the market, with an average of 40 days on the market. Condos had an average list price of $1,500,000, and a median sales price of $992,500, which was almost a million dollars. Condos had a total dollar volume of $23,324,900.

Land: The total dollar volume of $10,136,855 was generated by 9 land sales at a median price of $1,046,855.

According to this statistics, single-family homes on Kauai appear to be priced higher than other property types and have longer days on the market. While land sales were rare but had high median prices, condominiums sold more quickly and in smaller quantities.

Maui Real Estate Market Statistics:

Single-Family properties: An average of 116 days were spent on the market before 56 properties were sold. The median sales price was somewhat lower at $1,322,691 than the average asking price of $1,600,000. About $87.8 million was the overall dollar volume for single-family dwellings.

Condos: The average days on market for condominiums was 138, despite having 92 sales. $1,200,000 was the average list price, and $795,000 was the median sales price. Condo sales reached a total monetary volume of approximately $108.85 million.

Land: A total of $78.41 million in dollars were exchanged for 25 sales of land, with a high median price of $1,700,000.

This suggests that Maui’s real estate market is active and has substantial sales volumes in every category. Despite being on the market for a longer period of time, condominiums brought in the most money, with single-family homes coming in second and land coming in third with fewer sales but higher median values.

Hawaii Governor David Ige provided an update on the State’s Pre-Travel testing program saying it is set to launch today on Oct. 15 with an expanded list of testing partners. Under the program, travelers arriving in Hawaii must take a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test from a CLIA certified lab within 72 hours from the final leg of departure and produce a negative result in order to avoid the state’s 14-day mandatory quarantine. Travelers are encouraged to take a second test 3 days after arrival, but it is not mandatory. It is free and people who do it get nice gift cards to restaurants. Children under the age of five are exempt from the test. This expanded list of partners includes Hawaiian, Southwest and United airlines; CVS Health and Walgreens; Kaiser Permanente and Quest Diagnostics; AFC and CityHealth Urgent Care; as well as Carbon Health, Vault Health and Color.
Separate from the travel testing, Gov. Ige also announced that the state will receive 420,000 Abbot BINAXNOW rapid antigen tests from the federal government by the end of the year. These 15-minute tests will be used first to protect the health of residents, specifically at long term care centers and as schools are reopened. If you need information regarding Covid testing approved by Maui County, which restaurants are open, what activities are available, etc., please let us know by emailing us at dad@mauirealestate.net We are happy to assist in any way.
Our real estate update as of October 12, 2020:
Median home prices as of October 1 were up 9.1% since last year at $785,000. On the other hand, condos were down 8.3% from last year at $495,000. Number of new listings were down about 3.9% for homes but remained flat for condos. For the first 12 days of October the market is still showing resilience with 37 properties pending for South Maui, 40 properties for West Maui, 7 properties for the North Shore, 18 properties Upcountry and 17 properties pending for Central Maui. With continued low interest rates and low inventory, the market appears to be relatively stable in terms of pricing for properties on Maui. Fidelity state this is the first month condos outsold homes.

If you’re interested in something new, there are quite a few projects in a variety of price ranges planned across Maui spanning over the next ten years. Additional housing is needed on Maui for Maui residents. Last month we saw renderings of some workforce housing being conceptualized in Kapalua across from Pineapple Grill and another up for approval in South Maui across from The Five Palms. In addition to that there is a project currently underway in Wailea. The Wailea Hills development includes 75 units for sale in 15 separate buildings. They have beautiful floorplans, many with gorgeous views, underground parking and good locations. Prices start in the mid $1.5’s million and up and seem to be selling pretty steadily. If you would like to view them virtually please let us know at: dad@mauirealestate.net and we will send you the links. In addition, there is an application for a Wailea Project consisting of 289 condos, 51 zero lot line homes, 92 duplex homes and 146 multi-family units of which 23 units could be short term rentals, but this may take some time before they get final approval.

With so many potential buyers now glued to social media we have significantly increased our advertising online by offering additional video tours, virtual open houses and tours as you can see by the links below.
