- The November 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 positive month. Median prices increased for homes over last month, condos were level, and the combined three-month moving average for both poroperty types is at the highest point of the year. Both median prices are significantly higher than a year ago. Sales volume dropped a little from the unusually high number of closings last month but was still solid for what normally is a slower part of the year. Inventory remains very low and pending sales volume looks good. Here are the full HBR stats for Oahu. Individual neighborhood data will be released in the middle of the month. (12/7/12)

- Nationally, listing asking prices are increasing. (12/4/12)
