Kauai condominium sales at the end February 2026 were very sluggish but their Median Prices aren’t giving up that much ground. Playing a key part in the sales we did have is the condition of the condominiums that are selling with buyers favoring those that don’t need work. In some complexes, buyers have a number of condominiums to choose from.
If you are selling, how you have priced your property, and the condition of it, is very relevant right now. Let’s start by looking at the number of sales, which are down all across the board.
- Island Wide the number of condominium sales went from 50 to 33, a -34% decrease.
- The South Shore is down -42.11% from 19 sales last year to 11 at the end of the first two months.
- The North Shore had 8 sales, a -33.33% drop from 12 last year.
- Lihue was even at 13 sales for both 2025 and 2026.
Mortgage rates have recently fallen below 6% for the first time since 2022, with the average 30-year fixed around 5.98% — a psychological threshold that tends to pull some buyers back into the market. For those who are buying a condominium as their primary residence this drop might mean they are now able to buy, for a vacation rental condo the drop in rates will impact their investment calculations. In either case, when looking at the median price on Kauai, buyers won’t see much give despite the lack of sales. We’ll look now at the prices.
- Island Wide the median price is down 5% at $855,000 compared to $900,000 last year.
- The South Shore, with its huge drop in sales, still had a 9.09% increase at $1,200,000 compared to $1,100,000 last year.
- The North Shore is down -19.18% at $965,000 in 2026, last year they were at $1,194,000.
- Lihue has the highest number of residential condominiums on the island and were dead even in their number of sales, their prices however are up 10% at $550,000 compared to $500,000 last year.
