- The September 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 another slightly positive month for Oahu real estate and may be a sign of continued improvement. The number of sales were up for both homes and condos, the median price for condos jumped significantly while the median home price pulled back (this was after a huge jump in August and is still above the July figure) and inventory decreased a hair. 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. (10/10/10)

- Visitor arrivals are up again for July and August. (10/5/10)
