Oahu’s housing market continued its steady progression in February, with signs of strengthening demand in key segments alongside diverging inventory trends between single‑family homes and condominiums. Buyers remained active across a range of price points, particularly for entry‑level and mid‑priced homes, while sellers navigated a market marked by faster sales for single‑family properties and longer timelines for condos.
Entry‑level affordability continued to anchor market activity. Homes priced at $500,000 and below accounted for 149 sales in February and 295 year‑to‑date, supported by 1,148 active listings in that range. These options provided important opportunities for first‑time and budget‑conscious buyers, helping sustain overall market momentum despite ongoing affordability pressures.
Across the broader market, transaction volumes remained consistent year over year.
Single‑family home sales rose 6.0% compared to last February, with 177 transactions, while condominium sales held relatively steady, dipping just 0.7% to 291 units. Demand strengthened notably in several single‑family price categories, particularly between $500,000 and $999,999, where sales increased 28.3% year over year. Higher‑end activity also picked up, with homes priced at $1.2 million to $1.29 million rising from 8 to 20 sales and properties priced at $1.9 million and above increasing from 20 to 31 transactions year over year, contributing to an uptick in overall pricing trends.
“February’s results highlight a market that remains resilient and responsive,” said Mike James, president of Coldwell Banker Realty. “We’re seeing buyers move decisively where value aligns with opportunity, especially in the single‑family market, while sellers continue to adjust strategies in response to shifting inventory and buyer expectations.”
