- The sales figures for August 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 neutral-to-positive month. Sales volume increased from the previous month for both property types, but was down from a year ago. The three-month moving average keeps inching upwards. Median prices increased from the previous month, but were mixed when compared to 12-months ago. Inventory dropped a hair, and pending sales volume looks quite strong. (9/9/25)

- For new construction buyers, it may be better to use a classic 50% buyer rebate approach since developers use their own proprietary purchase contracts. If you are considering a new construction purchase, please see our page regarding our 50% New Construction Buyer Rebate*, which offers new construction buyers similar savings.
