Residential Snapshot
As September begins, the North Shore of Kauai is showing both resilience and subtle shifts in its housing market. Median home prices are holding firm at $3.1M, reflecting consistent demand in Princeville, Hanalei, and Kilauea.
Inventory & Buyer Behavior
Homes are now averaging 75 days on market—a touch higher than last year. Buyers have a little more breathing room, but sellers are still motivated to price smartly if they want to stand out.
North Shore Neighborhood Highlights
Hanalei: Limited inventory, timeless demand. Properties here are holding their value because the lifestyle is simply unmatched.
Princeville: Resort-style condos continue to attract steady interest, particularly among second-home buyers and vacation rental investors.
Kilauea: Still Kauaʻi’s most expensive ZIP, though contrast is emerging. The Kauhale O Namahana affordable housing project is adding new energy to the market.
Featured Sanctuary
This month’s standout is an Anini Beach listing at $3.7M. Close beach access, classic North Shore lifestyle, TVR (short-term rental) eligibility, and close proximity to Princeville and Kilauea. Listings like this remind me how rare true beach access has become.
This Weekend on the North Shore
September isn’t just about market movement, it’s also about lifestyle. If you’re on-island touring homes or considering your next move, here’s what to add to your weekend:
Hanalei Farmers Market: Saturday, 9:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m. at Hale Halawai. Fresh produce, artisan goods, and that unmistakable Hanalei vibe.
Anaina Hou Farmers Market (Kilauea): Saturday, 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. A perfect stop to connect with the community after a morning beach rendevouz.
Makai Music & Art Festival (Princeville Makai Golf Lawn): Every Wednesday from 1:00–5:00 p.m. Live music, art, and plenty of aloha—ideal mid-week inspiration for anyone exploring the market.
These community gatherings aren’t just fun; they illustrate the lifestyle that makes the North Shore market so compelling.
Looking Ahead
September is shaping up to be balanced. Buyers can take more time, but the right properties—priced strategically—will still capture immediate interest.
