Aloha, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

The Oahu real estate market demonstrated continued resilience and strength in 2025, particularly in the single-family home sector. Following an increase in inventory early in the year, buyer activity gained considerable momentum by the close of the third quarter. September 2025 statistics from the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® reflect this environment: Single-family home closed sales jumped 27.2% year-over-year to 276 transactions, and the median sales price rose 3.8% to $1,155,000. Condo sales also increased by 11.5% with 408 closings, though the median price saw a slight dip of 1.7% to $508,750. Demand increased across most price points, including significant gains in the single-family $800K-$899K bracket (up 81.0%) and the premium $1.4M-$1.59M range (sales doubled). Despite properties spending a median of 26-40 days on the market, the sustained activity signals strong confidence in Oahu’s housing market.

This year also marked a significant shift in the luxury condominium segment. Sales of Howard Hughes’ new ultra-luxury Ward Village projects, ‘Ilima and Melia, kicked off with record-breaking results, redefining luxury condo living alongside Park Lane Ala Moana. ‘Ilima, offering the prestigious Mohala owners club with five-star concierge, reported one residence sale exceeding $40 million. Furthermore, Park Lane’s developer announced plans for a new, similar ultra-luxury condominium project and an exclusive high-rise hotel-condo development on the Waikiki-ocean side of Ala Moana Center. If you are interested in securing a piece of this elite real estate, please contact Sachi Hawaii for details.

As 2025 nears its close, Sachi Hawaii is noting a strong uptick in listings going under contract and active buyer movement. This year, we are on track to represent over 100 buyers and sellers, including landmark sales such as two single-family homes in Kahala ($4.6M and $3.4M), a newly-finished residence at Victoria Place ($3.56M), and multiple units at Diamond Head Apartments. We currently feature notable properties such as the newly-listed Park Lane #8604 ($11.5M), a palatial 6-bedroom home in Makiki Heights ($7.58M), and a Diamond Head oceanfront home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s apprentice ($6.25M). We are pleased to welcome new sales agents, Mona, Ikue and Keiko, as well as Mayuko to our Vacant Home Care division in December.

We are fortunate and thankful to work with so many wonderful buyers and sellers. We would be honored to receive your referral should you know a friend, family, or colleague looking to buy or sell.

Mahalo nui loa from all of us at Sachi Hawaii to our precious clients, friends, and family members for being a part of our successful 2025. As we look to the future in 2026, we wish for our extended ‘Ohana good health and fortune, as we continue to serve with enthusiasm, sincerity, privacy, discretion, and professionalism.

From Sachi Braden and the entire Sachi Hawaii Team,

Mahalo for your continued support, and Happy New Year!
