Oahu’s housing market closed September with a notable increase in single-family home activity, while the condo market remained within recent ranges. Single-family sales reached 304 (+7% YoY), the highest monthly total since August 2022, while the median price declined 5% to $1.1 million—the lowest of 2026. Condo activity was comparatively steady, with 387 sales and a $525,000 median price, while median days on market remained within recent ranges for both segments. With borrowing costs recently moving higher, the coming months will provide a clearer picture of how buyers respond as Oʻahu enters the final quarter of the year.

Oʻahu homeowners, quick reminder: September 30 is the deadline to file for a home exemption for the upcoming tax year.

If you own and occupy your home as your principal residence, the exemption may reduce your taxable value and help lower your property tax bill. The City & County of Honolulu says home exemption claims must be filed on or before September 30 preceding the tax year being claimed.

File online at http://realpropertyhonolulu.com and click Home Exemption.

Not sure whether you already have the exemption? It’s worth checking now, before the deadline sneaks up.

Oʻahu's housing market remained balanced in July, with single-family home sales rebounding from June to 302 transactions (+13% YoY) while the median price held at $1,203,500 (+9% YoY). The condo market also remained healthy, with 432 sales (+11% YoY) and the median price rising to $519,500 (+3% YoY). Buyers continued to act quickly across both segments, with homes spending relatively little time on the market despite elevated mortgage rates, reflecting steady demand supported by constrained inventory and broad participation across the island.
