Sachi Hawaii Newsletter: August, 2022

Aloha and welcome to Sachi Hawaii’s August 2022 newsletter.

The main question we’re receiving in regards to Hawaii Real Estate is, “how is the market responding to the increased interest rates?” The answer might not fully present itself for months down the road, but we’re starting to see a decrease in number of sales for both single-family homes and condominiums.

Hawaii Real Estate Market Update

In July 2022, single-family home sales saw a -22.8% decrease in total sales when compared to the same period last year, dropping from 404 to 312. Condominiums saw an identical -22.8% drop as well. Prices, however, are remaining quite stable at near-record highs. Single-family home median sales prices fell just short of the record-high mark, at $1,107,944, an 11.6% increase over July, 2021. Condominium prices are also remaining steady with a median sales price of $500,000, or a 5.3% increase over the same period last year.

Buyers are looking to move on purchases now as interest rates are expected to increase further. This is keeping the market active, and sellers can still take advantage of the hot market. Properties are still moving quickly with single-family home properties going under contract in just 11 days on average, and condominiums doing so in 12 days.
