“The median prices for Oahu single-family homes and condominiums have remained relatively stable,”said Joyce Nakamura, President of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®.
“This time last year, marketactivity was boosted by the first-time homebuyer credit, so the decrease in sales recorded over last year isnot unexpected. We’re also experiencing a decrease in inventory on Oahu, which is a positive indicator of continued strong demand in the market. It’s a much more sustainable environment.”
