- 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 positive month. Sales volume was much higher than twelve months ago, and mixed compared to the previous month. Median sale prices for both property types were also nicely higher than a year ago. When compared to the previous month, the median home price dropped, but condos set a new record median price. Inventory dropped significantly for both homes and condos, and pending sales volume looks to be on an even keel. (1/7/25)

- For new construction buyers, it may be better to use a classic 50% buyer rebate approach since developers use their own proprietary purchase contracts.
