- The sales figures for December 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 fairly mixed month with sales numbers showing the annual winter slowdown and median prices stable (this is when looking at the combined three month moving averages) The sales numbers for the last three months were good, but the previous months had more activity which is normal. The sales numbers for December 2010 were an anomaly, so it's not that useful to compare them to last month's sales. The median home price popped above its 12-month price range and the median condo price decreased. The combined three month moving average of both median prices is the highest it's been in 11 months. Inventory is very low and pending sales volume looks fine. Here are the full HBR stats for Oahu and individual neighborhood data is available here. (1/9/12)

- Hawaii hotels end the year on a positive note. (1/7/12)
