There was a recent article in the Pacific Business News titled 2010 Oahu home sales off to fast start that talked about how we’ve been on a roll here on Oahu with home sales up every month since January 0f 2009! Year over year home sales were up 33% with 166 sales and condo sales up 43% with 227 sales! This momentum has definitely carried on from November and December of 2009. What was interesting to see was the median price of a single family home was up 11% from last year, while the median sales price Oahu condos was down 2%. While the numbers were great, real estate is always local…
