 September 2016 Honolulu board or Realtors :

“Oahu’s housing resale market in September indicates that there was no slowdown in demand as the summer came to an end,” said Kalama Kim, 2016 Honolulu Board of Realtors President. “While sales of single-family homes were flat compared to last year, the median days on market of just 16 days show homebuyers are still aggressively seeking opportunities. Another indication that demand is still strong are the pending sales figures, which show increases of nearly nine percent for single-family homes and 14 percent for condominiums, compared to last year. We are concerned about a drop in active listings for both single-family homes and condominiums during September, as more inventory is needed to satisfy the demand for housing, which has been the case for some time.”
