The final result was a sales price of $30K above what we were expecting and my walking away with more money than I could have imagined. The best part was that I didn’t have to pay for any of the repairs out of pocket. They arranged for all contractors to be paid at closing from my sales proceeds.

Pink Pillbox Pink Pillbox is great for sunsets and whale watching. Throughout the hike, you’ll be in full sun, so it’s hot during midday. The pillbox is painted pink for breast cancer awareness. Manoa Falls This hike is lush and tropical! Depending on the season, the falls may be a trickle or may be gushing. Kaena Point With a breathtaking and open coastline, Kaena Point is relatively flat.

This marks the end of 17 consecutive months of single-family home prices exceeding $1 million. The median sales price of condos also saw a dip, falling 2.9% to $495,000.

The decrease in median sales price is due to the impact of costlier financing on the market, which is causing some downward pressure on prices. Sellers are having to adjust as buyer demand weakens due to elevated interest rates. Properties are taking longer to sell, with a median of 24 days on the market, compared to just 12 days for single-family homes and 14 days for condos last year. The number of new listings has also slowed, down 16.3% for single-family homes and 21.5% for condos. Despite this, the active inventory in the market continues to grow, with a 77.2% increase in the single-family home market and 23.7% in the condo market compared to 2022.
