O'ahu Real Estate: November's Insights

Everything you need to know about the O'ahu Real Estate Market in November 2024. 


“Market activity remains sluggish despite mortgage rates dipping slightly from the peak we saw last month. However, pending sales data revealed that buying activity is rising in the more affordable price ranges for both single-family homes and condos,” said Fran Villarmia-Kahawai, president of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS.

In November 2024, single-family home sales rose 12.8% with 203 closings and condo sales jumped 10% to 341 closings, compared to November 2023. Both markets experienced nominal changes in median sales prices. The single-family home median sales price for November was $1,115,000, up 1.4% from a year ago, while the condo median sales price was $530,000, a year-over-year increase of 2.7%.


In the single-family home market, the $900,000 to $1,199,999 price range accounted for approximately one-third of sales in November and also saw the largest growth in sales volume from a year ago. Seventy single-family homes sold in that price range compared to 42 in November 2023, a 66.7% increase. In the condo market, more than 50% of November sales occurred in the $300,000 to $599,999 price range. Sales volume in this range increased 25.5% from a year ago with 182 sales compared to 145 in November 2023.


A slightly larger share of single-family home sales closed for more than the original asking price this November – 26% compared to 21% in November 2023. However, fewer condos sold above the original asking price, accounting for just 12% of sales this November compared to 19% at the same time last year.





Single-family homes that sold in November spent slightly less time on the market, marking a median of 24 days compared to 29 days in November 2023. The condo median days on market lengthened to 32 days compared to 23 a year ago.


Throughout November, the single-family home market brought on 297 new listings, rising 11.2% from a year ago, while the condo market rose 30.9% to 598 new listings. The condo market welcomed new listings at all price points and saw a notable rise in new listings priced at $1,000,000 and above. New listings in that range increased by 93.8%, with 124 new listings compared to 64 a year ago.


Compared to one month ago, active inventory for single-family homes saw a modest increase of 1.1% and 4.7% for condos. November ended with 749 active single-family home listings and 2,049 active condo listings. Compared to one year ago, single-family home inventory was up 11.5%, while condo inventory was 53.3% higher.
