PENDING SALES (FUTURE CLOSINGS): Single-family home pending sales went up 13.1%, signaling potential strength ahead.

Condo pending sales dropped 8.3%, pointing to a slowdown in that segment.

WHAT IT ALL MEANS: The Oahu housing market is shifting. Buyers are more cautious due to higher interest rates and rising costs like maintenance fees. Homes and condos are sitting longer, but well-priced, mid-range single-family homes are still seeing interest. Condos are seeing a bigger slowdown as buyers weigh options more carefully.
