December 2020 – O‘ahu’s Housing Market Rebounds

December 2020 - O‘ahu’s Housing Market Rebounds

O‘ahu’s Housing Market Rebounds with Year-End Spike in Activity

Record-low mortgage rates and low inventory drive heightened competition and modest increase in median sales prices for O‘ahu’s real estate market in 2020

Closed sales of single-family homes on O‘ahu were up 35.9%, and condo sales rose by 20.1% compared to the same period in 2019. New listings increased by 15.3% and 3.6% year-over-year for single-family homes and condos, respectively. Median sales prices for December 2020 were up 6.1% at $870,000 for single-family homes and 6.9% to $455,000 for condos.

“Instead of the typical seasonal lull, the O‘ahu real estate market saw steady – and even slight increases – in activity through the year’s end despite the ongoing effects of the pandemic,” said Shannon Heaven, president, Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. “Record-low mortgage rates paired with cautious optimism around reopening continued to drive activity, allowing the market to surpass sales and near new listing levels compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.”

Total annual single-family home sales were up 2.3% over 2019, but condo sales remained down, declining 13.0%. Increased purchasing power from lower mortgage rates and heightened competition spurred by low inventory resulted in annual median sales price increases of 5.2% to $830,000 for single-family homes and 2.4% to $435,000 for condos. Total new listings were down by 17.7% for single-family homes and 14.4% for condos compared to 2019.
