Hawaii Kai was hot for buyers in March.

By David Buck – A little over a year ago, the Honolulu Board of Realtors started releasing their monthly stats in 2 parts. The first was the overall market reports and the second was the local market updates. The later wasn’t released until the 2nd half of the month, which is why my articles were hitting so late. I’ve decided to break them out in 2 parts as well going forward. A few weeks back I wrote about the strength of the condo market here in March.

Today, we’ll recap the strongest regions on Oahu for Buyers and Sellers. Going on the concept of “buying low and selling high,” I’ll highlight which areas were Hot, whether you were Buying or Selling.

Here’s a recap of March real estate trends on Oahu:

  • Condo sales on the North Shore were down 80%**
  • Condo prices in Kaneohe were down 17%

* In Waialae-Kahala, there was only 1 sale in March of 2012, which really threw off the data.

  1. I really had no idea that in this area there are times of the year when it is better to buy or to sell. Well, what can I say, I have mostly been a renter all my life and, from this point of view, there has to be something available for people like me on the market for the whole year round. Or maybe it is because I am always contacting <a href="https://www.buenavidaestates.org” target=”_blank”>www.buenavidaestates.org whenever I need to find a new place.

  2. My old house had a beautiful green yard in the back, a reason why the price went so high for it. There is a way in which we can make houses reach high standards, you only have to order from the best suppliers and make sure everything is clean, modern and remodeled. And if you can add up some ecological responsibility in between, that is even better.

    • Yeap, this is the main recipe to sell a house to a bigger price. Too bad that people don't understand that and they call luxury some normal conditions.

  3. To find out what is happening in your neighborhood, contact one of our great Realtors on Oahu to see what is going on in your market, and if now is the time to buy or sell.

    • And hope realtors give you facts besides the bull of how lovely Honolulu is & "■Home sales in Moanalua-Salt Lake were up 400%"
      Military bases are included in this stat. and you realtors forget that the sewage system sucks. Fact is; 5,000 gallons of sewage water spills into Honolulu Harbor
      Tropical Storm Ana causes major waste water spill
