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.  Brief Overview: Island of Hawaii Unit Sales Stats for February 2025 VS.

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. Brief Overview: Island of Hawaii Unit Sales Stats for January 2025 VS.

However, the condo market across the island is facing challenges, with 75% of all condos selling below the asking price in December. As a result, the median sales price for condos has dropped to a three-year low. By key market areas, the median price of a condo is $464k in Kona, $855k in South Kohala, and $185k in Hilo. Despite these trends, the condo market presents a unique opportunity for buyers to invest at more favorable prices, particularly for those with a long-term outlook.
