Oahu Home and Condo Sales Took a Holiday in December

Resales of  single family homes were down 14.5% and condo sales down 6.5% in December.

Every year, we typically see a dip in volume over the Holidays. However, this year was more significant compared with December of 2010.

This Waimanalo home (MLS # 1112647) is priced at December’s median price of $605,000

Meanwhile, the median price of a single family home on Oahu was up 3.4% to $605,000, which was the highest month in 2011! The median condo price was down 5% to $300,000. We’re also noticing a similar trend to November in that both inventory and listings are down significantly on Oahu, when compared to 2010. Once again, a great reason to consider listing your property…

This Ala Moana Hotel Condo (MLS # 1110106) is listed for December’s median price of $300,000

    @Pat – Those were actually the neighborhoods/areas vs. specific buildings, however the ups and downs are something you want to be able to navigate regardless. A Hawaii Life Real Estate Broker can save the consumer a lot of time :)
