July Market Report

July Market Report

August 7, 2023 11:37 pm

O‘ahu Home Sales Dip Amid Rising Borrowing Costs
Active inventory and days on market increase as sales volume continues to decline
Both single-family homes and condos experienced a slump in sales as elevated borrowing costs continued to dampen summer buying activity. Single-family home sales fell by 28.2%, and condo sales dropped by 18.5% compared to the same time last year. In both markets, properties that sold in July spent a median of 16 days on the market, just a slight jump up from July 2022, where single-family homes had a median of 11 days and condos had 12 days.

“While the market is different compared to last year, we’re seeing similar trends month to month. Rising borrowing costs have buyers taking a more cautious approach, so homes remain on the market for longer periods, but demand and median sales prices are holding steady due to low inventory,” said Fran Villarmia-Kahawai, president of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®.

Median sales prices were stable year-over-year, with single-family homes down 1.6% to $1,090,000 and condos even at $500,000. Approximately 53% of single-family home sales closed for the full asking price or more, compared to 65% a year ago. In the condo market, 47% of sales received the total asking price or more compared to 60% of sales in July 2022.

The market also experienced a decline in new listings, with a 28.8% year-over-year drop for single-family homes and a 15.4% fall for condos. However, active inventory for single-family homes and condos remained relatively unchanged from the previous year, with a modest 2.6% growth in active single-family home listings and 9.9% in active condo listings.

I just wanted to pass along high praise and appreciation for your Realtor, Eric Olson. He helped me to sell a condo last year and just closed on a house that my family and I are thrilled about! Eric was friendly, knowledgeable, and accessible throughout the process and a pleasure to work with. Good all around experience with Eric and Carvill Sotheby’s.

“I wish to commend Nancy Young-Vieira on the manner in which she handled the recent sale of our Wahiawa home. We were impressed by her attention to detail and her knowledge of the market during these present times. She is professional in every way and walked us through every step of the process. Thank you for having such a well seasoned and pleasant agent as Nancy.”

John Schamber recently acted as our agent to market and sell our architecturally signficant home in Honolulu. John was great during the sales process-the utmost professional, granular, and balanced. We soon had three offers on the property and he navigated the transaction to a smooth closing. We wholeheartedly recommend John as an agent.

There are so many nuances to buying a home and it was great having Mike to answer all my questions throughout the journey. We will definitely be working with him again. In fact, I will occasionally shoot him an email about areas I am interested for the future of my family. Mike has been happy to educate me on areas of interest and discuss a buying strategy. All in all I would happily recommend Mike Dilks.

“We found Maureen O’ Guin an absolute pleasure to work with. I don’t think we could have found a better realtor for us. She listened to us carefully regarding what we were looking for in a house, and quickly identified properties that fit our specifications.”
