The North Kona residential market Hawaii
Island could be a big beneficiary of the lull
in eruptive activity from Kilauea volcano.
June and July data had shown some negative
impact in sales numbers and price from the
eruption onset. The year over year stats are still up
because up through April 2018 the market was up
substantially over 2017. As of this report date, the
inventory is actually up slightly from last year and
median price is only up slightly.
The island wide stats show a slight drop in East
Hawaii sales numbers since last year. Average price
is still up in East and West Hawaii from the previous
12 months.
Chart 2 — North Kona Condo data is currently
looking stronger than Residential stats. Inventory
continues to decline. There are now only 126 condo
units on the market priced below $1.5M. The median
price is up 2 percent.
Hopefully it will not take long to see the West
Hawaii market celebrate the end of the eruption
with strong sales numbers and price increases.
Historically, sales data shows that in market
cycles in Kona the previous peak prices are surpassed
by a substantial amount at the next market
cycles peak. The residential and condo price charts
show current prices are below their previous peaks.
This suggests it is possible the current price growth
trends will continue for the next several years.
