Did you scroll through Zillow last night, see the price tag on a 1970s teardown in Kaimuki, and almost choke on your morning acai bowl? You’re not alone.
Welcome to the Aloha State, where the views are free, but the square footage definitely isn’t. As we navigate 2026, the median price for a single-family home on Oahu is hovering around $1.2 million. This leads to the ultimate question: Is Hawaii real estate actually overpriced, or just expensive?
In this video, I break down the hard numbers behind Hawaii’s housing market. I explain why our strict zoning laws and island geography create a chronic supply shortage that prevents prices from crashing. More importantly, I reveal the current “Tale of Two Markets”:
🏠 Why single-family homes are still a battlefield.
🏢 Why condo inventory has surged 40–50%—and why the condo market is quietly becoming a buyer’s playground for those looking for a deal.
Real estate in Hawaii isn’t just a roof over your head; it’s a global legacy asset with limited supply. Don’t let sticker shock keep you on the sidelines while others build equity. You just need a strategy that fits this market.
With over 22 years of experience in real estate, I can help you spot the difference between a “good value” and a “money pit.”
