In September 2023, Hawaii's housing market showed fewer sales for single-family homes. Additionally, condos took longer to sell across all islands. Nationwide, existing home sales hit a seven-month low due to higher borrowing costs, rising home prices, and fewer homes available for buyers. With mortgage rates staying above 7% since mid-August, it's become harder for people to afford homes. As a result, existing home sales dropped by 0.7% in a month and 15.3% over a year, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).

To give you a clear picture of the market, we collect data from trusted sources like Hawaii Information Service, HiCentral MLS, Ltd., and the REALTORS® Association of Maui. If you're interested in a buying into new developments, feel free to check out our monthly New Homes Hawaii Report.
