- 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. It was a very mixed month. For every data point that was positive, there was a balancing negative one depending on which property type one is looking at, or whether you are comparing it to the previous month, or twelve months ago. Inventory for both homes and condos definitely increased, which is positive for the market. Pending sales volume looks neutral. (8/10/24)
