Oahu luxury home sales soar by 54% in April,

May 27, 2015 By Mark G. Howard Leave a Comment

The number of luxury homes and condominiums that sold for at least $1 million on Oahu rose by 54 percent last month compared to the same time last year, according to a monthly analysis.

In all, 83 luxury homes, defined as those that sold for $1 million or more, changed hands in April — a jump from 54 in April 2014.

The median sales price for those luxury properties dropped to $1.31 million last month compared to $1.4 million in 2014.

“Year-to-date sales of single-family homes over $1 million indicate a strong performance compared to the same period a year ago,”. “Specifically, sales in the $1-million to $2-million price range are up 40 percent while the $2-million to $6-million price range are down by 45 percent.”

In all, a total of 72 homes were sold in the $1 million to $2 million price range. Nine more, meanwhile, were sold in the $2 million to $4 million price range. Only two Oahu properties were sold last month for at least $4 million.

Kakaako led the island in luxury property sales last month with eight closed sales, followed by Diamond Head with five closed sales, and Lanikai and Waikiki with four closed sales for each neighborhood.

“Based on the current rate of sale, we only have four months of inventory remaining for single-family homes in this segment — a balanced market is six months of inventory,” Nakagawa said. “Meanwhile, the higher price ranges in the luxury market have not been selling as briskly. The units in escrow (or forward sales) for single-family homes show that this trend will keep going.”

More luxury properties in $1 to $2 million price range, she explained, would have to be put up for sale to balance out the market and keep up with the “very, very high demand for these properties.”

Though she has seen more of those homes come on the market over the past few months, the number of those selling for at least $4 million has been building over time as fewer sales for those properties take place, Nakagawa said.

The most expensive home sale recording by Multiple Listing Service data last month was a six-bedroom, four-bath, 3,055-square-foot home in Kailua for $10.5 million.

Hawaii’s 14.6% home price increase makes it fourth-highest in U.S.
Staff Pacific Business News | Apr 3, 2013, 12:59pm HST

Hawaii had the fourth-highest home price appreciation in the nation in February, with prices increasing by nearly 15 percent year over year, according to a report by CoreLogic.

Nevada had the highest year-over-year home price appreciation for February, when distressed sales were included, with a 19.3 percent increase, followed by Arizona at 18.6 percent, California at 15.3 percent and Hawaii at 14.6 percent, according to the report by Irvine, Calif.-based CoreLogic (NYSE: CLGX).

Excluding distressed sales, Hawaii moved up to third-highest price appreciation at 15.5 percent, following Nevada and Arizona.

Nationally, home prices increased by 10 percent compared to February 2012, the largest year-over-year increase since March 2006, CoreLogic said. March prices are expected to rise by 10.2 percent year over year, the report said.

August 2012 Residential Resales Statistics – The median price paid for island properties in August was $609,000 for single-family homes and $320,000 for condominiums

December 11, 2012 By idx guys Leave a Comment

During August, sales of 293 single-family homes and 409 condominiums increased 5 percent and 21 percent, respectively, from August 2011. The median price paid for island properties in August was $609,000 for single-family homes and $320,000 for condominiums, increases of 9.2 percent and 6.7 percent, respectively, compared to the same month last year. According to the Days on Market indicator, sales for both single-family homes and condominiums were accepted at a faster pace last month compared to a year ago, with single-family properties listing for 25 days and condominiums listing for just 28 days.

“This has been one of the best summers we’ve seen in many years, with closed and pending sales of both single-family homes and condominiums rising throughout the summer to highs in August,” said Joe Paikai, president of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. “This is a good indicator that the market is finally recovering.”

30% Buyer Commission Rebate Program

April 19, 2011 By idx guys Leave a Comment

AHR Logo_Rev copy Everyone here at Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc is proud to formally announce that the 30% Buyer Commission Rebate Program will continue throughout 2011
 
If you haven't heard about the Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc 30% Buyer Commission Rebate Program the details are as follow . . .

What is the Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc 30% Buyer Commission Rebate?
Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc is leading the way in technology and resourceful operations to reduce the cost of buying or selling a home. When purchasing a home through Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc we will rebate 30% of our buyer agent commission back to you. Despite the great savings Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc is NOT a "discount real estate brokerage" and provides you our comprehensive Buyer Full Service to ensure your satisfaction.

How does the 30% Buyer Commission Rebate work?
For example if you purchase a home for $4
 50,000 through a traditional brokerage on a 6% listing. Your broker would end up keeping 3% of the purchase price or $13,500.

If however you purchased the same $450,000 home through Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc using our 30% Buyer Commission Rebate, rather than keeping the entire commission Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc would rebate 30% of our brokerage commission or $4,050 back to you! Your actual rebate will of course vary depending upon the actual purchase price and the actual buyer agent commission but could even be larger on a more expensive property.

Do I get the same service as from a traditional brokerage?
YES! You receive the same professional service to assist you in selecting and purchasing your home that you would receive from a traditional brokerage. Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc may offer you a great rebate but we do NOT cut corners and are NOT a “discount real estate brokerage”. Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc believes in fair pricing and are simply passing on the cost savings from our technology and efficient operation back to you.

What can I do with my rebate?
You can use your real estate rebate to help pay your closing costs or buy down your interest rate to save even more money. With your lender's approval you can also take it as cash and save it, fix up your new home, purchase new furniture, and more!

(This rebate program supersedes any other offer, discount or credit previously offered by Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc and cannot be combined with any other offer, discount or credit previously offered by Hawaiian Americana Realty, Inc)

Now is the time to act if you have been considering buying real estate in Honolulu, Waikiki or anywhere throughout Oahu and Maui !
