- The January sales numbers for the Oahu real estate market have been released by the Honolulu Board of Realtors®. Here is a single-page set of charts showing the last 12 months of data. It was a neutral-to-negative month. It looks as if the combination of high interest rates and the usual winter slowdown finally had some real impact. The median home price dipped under $1M for the first time in ages, but on very low sales volume, while the condo median price has been relatively consistent for the last six months. Sales volume was lower all around, which makes comparing other data points less useful. Inventory was basically flat, and pending sales looks fairly even as well. (2/6/23)

- It didn't last long. The "free" parking meters have been upgraded. (2/2/23)

- For the skiers out there, a repeat video from a few years back, but a fun one. (2/1/23)
