August 8 News Release: July 2016 Honolulu real estate statistics

“While sales of both single-family homes and condos dipped compared to the previous year, the increase in prices year-over-year for both indicates the housing market is still very strong,” said Kalama Kim, 2016 president of the Honolulu Board of Realtors. “The drop in condo sales is typical of the cyclical nature of the real estate market. Historically, we’ve seen a peak in condo resales during the summer, followed by a slight dip the following month. As for prices, a decrease in the number of sales with a corresponding increase in prices usually means buyers are being more aggressive with their offers. That said, home affordability is more favorable than a decade ago because of extremely low mortgage interest rates.”
