Kauai Condo Market Trends 2024: Sales Decline, Median Prices Surprise Real Estate Update

Kauai’s condominium market continues to face challenges. Sales are trending downward, and this month even the North Shore’s median price has seen a decline. From rising HOA dues driven by insurance costs to other assessments, it’s been a tough year for condos on the island.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the numbers for January–November 2024 compared to 2023:
🏢 Island-wide Condo Sales: Down 5.05%, from 277 to 263.
📉 South Shore: Sales decreased 10.99%, from 91 to 81.
📉 North Shore: Down 8.47%, from 59 to 54.
📉 Lihue: The biggest drop, down 13.25%, from 83 to 72.

November Highlights:

✔️ Sales decreased from 22 last year to 17 this year.
✔️ Condos sold faster, with days on market dropping from 50 to 47.
✔️ The sold-to-original-list-price ratio dipped slightly, from 95.60% to 93%.

Median Prices:

📈 Island-wide: Up 9.66%, from $725,000 to $795,000.
📈 South Shore: Up 12.02%, from $799,000 to $895,000.
