- 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 a generally positive month. The number of home and condo sales increased for the second month, and the moving three month average of both has had a general uptrend for six months now. Median prices went up for both homes and condos compared to last month. The only negative is comparing median prices to 12 months ago, but often that's comparing apples with oranges. Inventory went down for both property types, and pending sales numbers again look good. Here are the full HBR stats for Oahu. Individual neighborhood data is available here. (10/7/11)
