What’s Happening in the Hawaii Real Estate Market?

Buying a Honolulu home? Search all homes for sale

In Hawaii, there is currently a strong seller’s market for homes valued at less than $1 million dollars. The amount of inventory for homes valued at less than $1 million is very low, and that’s why we’re seeing a seller’s market taking shape. In the luxury markets, there aren’t as many homes available, so that is creating a buyer’s market. 


Interest rates are hovering around 3.5%


Below the million-dollar mark, homes are selling quickly, which is creating a very competitive market for home buyers. While buyers will be fighting an uphill battle to buy a home, interest rates are still extremely low, so buying power is very high. Interest rates are hovering below 3.5%, and that’s why we’re seeing a large number of people trying to buy homes right now. 

If you’re a home seller below the million-dollar mark, it’s a great time to be in the market. You can probably expect a high sale price with offers from multiple different buyers. We recommend you put your home up for sale quickly so you can capitalize on current market conditions.
