News Release/ January 2013 Honolulu Housing Statistics February 7, 2013

“Overall, January’s numbers are good with sales of single-family homes and condominiums continuing to be strong,” said Kevin Miyama, president of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. “The median sales price for single-family homes dropped due to the higher volume of sales this year over last in the lower price ranges. This means there were fewer high priced homes sold compared to the mid- and low-priced, which bumped the median price down, due to the high number of first time home buyers getting into the market. There is a lot of activity in the market and we’re optimistic low interest rates and reasonable prices will continue to fuel the positive trend we’ve been seeing these past few months.”
