West Hawaii Real Estate | November 10, 2017 15 Oahu Home Median Prices hold steady in October Oahu’s housing market held steady in October, according to resales fi gures released today by the Honolulu Board of Realtors. The analysis conducted by the board, using data collected from its computerized Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system, offer the following statistics: In October, the number of singlefamily houses sold increased by 6 percent compared to October 2016. The median price for single-family houses was $752,000, a 1.3 percent increase from the same period last year. The number of condominiums sold increased by 14.3 percent in October over the previous year, while the median price for condominiums increased by just 0.4 percent to $397,500. According to the Days on Market indicator, single-family houses sold at a slightly faster pace closing at an average of 15 days, four days less than in 2016. Sales of condos closed at about the same rate from October 2017, closing at an average of 21 days on the market, compared to 20 days in October 2016. “Oahu’s housing market continues to be strong with consistent sales and steady median prices,” said Sue Ann Lee, president of Honolulu Board of Realtors. “The fall is traditionally a slower time for home sales, but demand is still robust as there are double digit increases in pending sales for single-family houses, as well as condominiums and townhomes. However, even with a rise in new listings, we still need more inventory to meet the pent up demand for housing.” The public is encouraged to visit www. hicentral.com to see what’s happening in the housing market. Consumers have the ability to browse single-family home and condominium listings across Oahu, as well as select neighbor-island listings, available for sale and for rent, and to see a comprehensive guide of homes that will be open to visit this weekend. All searches can be done by geographic location and/or price range, and hicentral.com provides useful information about buying and selling real estate in Hawaii.
