The Oahu real estate market was steady in March 2026. The single-family home market continues to outperform the resale condo market, but demand for condos is increasing. If this trend holds, condo sales will rise, followed by prices. Mortgage rates—which had been improving—have now reversed course, as the war in Iran and global uncertainties pushed U.S. bond yields higher.

Demand for single-family homes was strong in January 2026. The number of homes for sale decreased, buyers entered into contract in a median of just four weeks, and competition reached a four-year high for the month of January. Demand for condos was softer, with a longer median market time and weaker competition.
