The number one question I get asked at the grocery store, at client meetings, and in my DMs is: “Jason, should I sell my Hawaii home now, or wait?” Many sellers are hoping to wake up to 3% interest rates or a sudden bidding war, but relying on hope isn’t a strategy—it’s procrastination. In this early 2026 Hawaii real estate market update, we are breaking down the exact numbers you need to know before making a move.
Right now, we are seeing a tale of two markets on Oahu. Single-family homes are sitting at about 2.5 months of inventory—a strong seller’s market where median prices are hovering over $1.1 million. If you own a single-family home, you currently have very little competition.
Condos, however, are a different beast. Inventory is up significantly, pushing us into a 6-month supply. As someone who personally embraces high-rise condo living here in Hawaii, I keep a very close eye on these specific inventory shifts. Buyers in the condo market are waking up from hibernation, but they have options, and they can afford to be picky.
Waiting until the summer of 2026 is a gamble. You are betting that potential rate cuts will outpace the flood of new inventory hitting the market.
Stop asking your neighbor what they think the market will do. Let’s look at the data and get your property sold before everyone else wakes up.
