Let’s see what Jenny L. Brady said, who is the President of the Honolulu Board of Realtors. “While sales volume in June may have declined from last year, the Oahu housing market remains very active and competitive.”

Even with the increases in inventory, we’re seeing the majority of sold properties on the market, for less than 30 days. Additionally, sellers who are working with REALTORS®, are closing with median prices at 98.2% of the original list price for single-family homes and 97.2% for condos. REALTORS® have the knowledge and experience to position and prepare properties for optimal sales performance and to help navigate the complex process of selling a home.”

The real estate market is looking really good here in Oahu. Rates are still low and it’s a great time for both buyers and sellers. Buyers have more buying power with the lower interest rates and for Sellers, prices are continuing to increase for home sales. Fawn Bertram with Homes by Fawn.
