Market Update – June 2025
Momentum is building on the Big Island, with single-family home sales reaching their highest level in a year. Median prices held steady at $1.08 million in West Hawaii and reached a new high of $465,000 in East Hawaii in June. With days on market dropping from 49 to just 28, buyers are starting to get active again, especially at the lower price points. As that inventory gets absorbed, it is likely to shift attention toward higher-priced properties. Condos, on the other hand, continue to be a mixed bag, with sales slightly lower and wide fluctuations in median sales prices. As we move into the second half of the year, now is a great time to make a plan and take action, whether you are a buyer or a seller. For those looking to stay put, Hawaii's real estate market has a long history of appreciation.

Market Update – May 2025
The Big Island real estate market maintained its current sales pace in May. However, an increase in single-family home sales at lower price points, combined with a slowdown in sales above one million dollars, pulled median prices down. Unexpectedly, the condo market set a new record for median sales prices, reaching $837,500, driven by a wave of luxury sales in Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani, and Keauhou. Overall, buyers continue to have the upper hand, but sellers with well-priced and well-presented properties are still going into escrow quickly.

Market Update – April 2025
The recent sales bump heading into the spring selling season was short-lived, as both total sales and median prices retreated in April. Many potential buyers stepped to the sidelines amid uncertainty surrounding tariffs, the broader economy, and a softening housing market. The market is currently divided into three distinct segments: properties priced below $1 million, those above $1 million, and the condo sector-each showing different levels of activity and buyer demand. Similar conditions are expected to persist in the near term. However, with some increased economic clarity and relief in mortgage interest rates, the market could rebound quickly.

Market Update – March 2025
Property sales rose in March, showing strong momentum as we head into spring. Single-family homes reached new highs, with a blended median sales price of $635,000. Regionally, West Hawaii led the way with a median of $1,260,000, while East Hawaii came in at $455,000. While the condo market has faced challenges in recent months, it's beginning to show signs of recovery, especially in complexes with limited inventory. In complexes where inventory remains high, patient sellers may benefit from waiting, as current conditions could lead to longer days on the market and lower sale prices.

Coldwell Banker International Society of Excellence Award for 2024
Thanks to my listing and buyer clients alike, the past four years including 2024 was an incredible year for me regarding real estate sales. I very much appreciate all of your support, encouragement, and aloha. I earned the Coldwell Banker International Society of Excellence Award for 2024. I earned this award by producing net sales that placed me in the top 250 of 4500 Coldwell Banker brokers Worldwide.
I’m flattered by the awards but as we all know in the sales business, the sales cycle never ends, and it’s more timing than any other factor that determines whether your sales close in a particular calendar year or not. In this case, it was perfect timing in 2024, where closings and opportunities met in the ideal sales “storm” despite low inventory and historic property values. 2025 could be different but the hard work on behalf of my clients will not stop!
Many mahalo’s to my buyer and seller clients who blessed Lissette and myself with the opportunity to serve their needs. It makes us both happy when all parties...
Market Update – February 2025
Big Island single-family home sales have dropped to their lowest levels since May 2020, with days on market reaching a high of 49 days during the same period. Condos, on the other hand, are experiencing a slight rebound from recent lows, with sales trending upward and faster days on market. Notably, combined condo sales set a new record for median sales price in February, reaching $790,000, driven by luxury complexes such as Hale Hinahina at Kohanaiki and Waiulaula at Mauna Kea. Amid recent economic headwinds affecting everyday consumers, much of the Big Island real estate market is taking a wait-and-see approach.

Market Update – January 2025
The Big Island real estate market carries its momentum into the new year, with sales activity holding steady, median prices rising, and days on the market decreasing for both single-family homes and condos. For sellers, well-presented and correctly priced properties continue to sell quickly. Buyers, meanwhile, are benefiting from increased inventory and stronger negotiating power. A closer look at the condo market reveals a shift, with median prices rising in North Kona to $690K, South Kohala to $748K, and Hilo to $213K-reversing a recent softening trend. While it's still too early to call a bottom for the condo market, signs suggest that condos may be heating up again.
