June Housing Report

June Housing Report

July 7, 2022 12:52 am

Rising Interest Rates Cause Ripple Effects Across O‘ahu’s Housing Market
REALTORS® see decreased sales volume, reduced asking prices, active listings up for longer

Housing sales volume on O‘ahu declined in June, with single-family home sales down 20.8% and condos dropping 14.2% year-over-year. However, sales volume is still up compared to pre-pandemic 2019 levels, with single-family home sales up marginally at 9.2% and condos well ahead at 32.3%.

The median sales price of a single-family home increased 12.4% to $1,100,000 compared to last June. Condos set a new record for the second month in a row with a median sales price at $534,000, up 16.1% from a year ago and 3.4% above last month’s record of $516,500. Properties continue to move into escrow in under two weeks, though single-family homes spent 10 days on the market in June compared to just eight days last year, and condos remained steady at 11 days on the market.

Despite this quick pace, the volume of contract signings has subsided, with pending sales falling for three consecutive months, declining 27.7% for single-family homes and 24.8% for condos year-over-year.

“The rapid rise in interest rates is causing buyers to change tack and reevaluate their budgets and what they’re looking for in a home,” said Chad Takesue, president of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. “New listings are spending more time on the market compared to the frenzy in activity we witnessed last year. Sellers are also adjusting their strategies in response to market conditions. Over the past several months, we’re seeing more sellers decrease the asking price for their properties for single-family homes and condos,” Takesue added.

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.”
