We have not seen any major shifts last month in the Hawai’i Island Real Estate Market. There is still a lack of inventory and more buyers than the current inventory can support. While some of the numbers may show slight decreases in the number of sales or median sales price – it is important to compare the market numbers at this time with the market numbers from a year ago at this time, which show an entirely different real estate market.
In May, the number of single family homes decreased slightly from 272 homes sold in June down to 251 homes sold in July. This is a slight increase of 12% when compared with the number of single family sales last July. There was a decrease in the number of condos sold last month, dropping from 106 condos in June to 80 condo sales in July. This is still drastically higher than last year at this time when there were only 54 condo sales on island.
