Insight
August 2025 delivered a mixed market: single-family homes and land experienced clear pullbacks year-over-year, while condos bucked the trend and rose modestly. The sharp decline in home sales—especially in Kōloa and Kapa‘a—suggests slower buyer activity due to higher prices in Koloa and fewer listings in both districts. Conversely, condo demand strengthened, led by a pronounced increase in Hanalei and steady gains in Kōloa, indicating pockets of continued buyer interest (often tied to second-home or vacation-rental demand).
What this means: Sellers in condo-strong areas like Hanalei may still find receptive buyers. Sellers of single-family homes and vacant land should price and market thoughtfully — highlighting value and distinguishing features in their area.
