The buzz about increased Kauai real estate activity in October wasn’t fake news—November’s numbers back it up. The deals buyers snapped up in October are now showing up as closed escrows, and the data tells a clear story.
As we kick off December, we’re breaking down the first 11 months of Kauai home sales and comparing them to the same period last year. Buckle up—we’re starting with the number of sales and diving into what the latest trends mean for buyers and sellers.
Kauai Homes Sold in November 2025
Island Wide we had a 16.36% jump in the number of homes sold going from 330 last year to 384 in 2025.
The South Shore is up 44.44% at 143 homes sold compared to 99 last year.
The North Shore is down -16.05% going from 81 last year to 68 this year but a silver lining for the North Shore is in the Median Price.
Lihue is on fire with an 84% increase going from 25 to 46 homes sold this year.
Kauai Home buying activity in October is showing up in the November data. In looking at just the month of November 2025 and comparing it to November of 2024 we see that 40 homes sold that month compared to last year’s 22.
Average Sold Price
The Sold Price, compared to the original list price, was also up at 93.73% compared to 90.41% the previous year.
Average Days on Market
Average Days on Market was higher at 63 compared to 52.
We’ll see more of this October activity in the December numbers so make sure you like this video and subscribe to whatever channel you are watching this on so you don’t miss this information. But only do that if you like data and not hype, I’m all about the numbers and I exit stage left when I smell hype.
Median Price
In looking at the Median Prices the South Shore has a story to tell. Island Wide the Median Price was down -13.29% going from $1,384,000 to $1,200,000 this year.
The South Shore is down -11.60% due to 17 Leasehold home sales that ranged from $469K to $528K, that price includes the house not the land and it skewed the number from $1,465,000 last year to $1,295,000 this year.
Side note: last year on the South Shore there were no Leasehold home sales so you can see how this impacted the numbers.
The North Shore had a dip in the number of sales but were up 7.05% on their Median Price going from $2,382,000 to $2,550,000 in 2025.
Lihue not only had a huge increase in the number of sales but their Median Price was up 21.91% at $1,132,500 compared to last year’s $929,000.
