April Proves to be Hot Month for Oahu Sellers from Aina Haina through Kuliouou

Anywhere between Aina Haina and Kuliouou was a great place to have sold your home last month. Sales were up 167% and the median price was up 90% since last year to $1,660,000.

A major factor was there was lots of movement in the higher end with an oceanfront sale on Niu Beach for $4.9 million and a couple on Hawaii Loa Ridge homes that went above $2 million. The lowest price was one in Aina Haina for $876,500.

This Aina Haina home (MLS# 1305077) is priced below April’s median of $1,660,000
