The Honolulu real estate market for the first quarter of 2026 delivered a clear message. Buyers are particularly selective in their purchases. In part, the selectivity is fueled by a continued steady demand across Oahu that is unhampered by a shifting inventory. While prices moved differently in each housing category, the quarter reflected a market that is re-calibrating—not declining.Single‑Family Homes — Stable Prices and Tightening InventoryThe Honolulu single‑family home market segment showed modest price movement. There was steady demand throughout the first quarter of 2026. Average list prices edged down from $1.28M to $1.27M and sold prices softened from February’s $1.23M to $1.20M in March. Days on market held stable at 91–94 days for active listings while inventory tightened sl...
