(8/10/10) - The July 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. Many thought that Oahu market activity, and prices, would fall after the end of the buyer tax credits several months ago, but it keeps on moving right along. We are still on an a fairly level path, which all things considered, is positive. The median price for homes jumped back over $600K and condos were basically flat, the number of sales edged down, and inventory went up a little. The number of pending sales (future closings) looks good. Here are the full HBR stats for Oahu. Individual neighborhood data is available here and local coverage of the latest data can be found here. (8/9/10) - Another good sign for Hawaii tourism: more flights coming.
