Aloha everyone. If you ask around at a weekend barbecue, people will tell you that you can sell a house in Hawaii anytime. While the optimism is great, the data tells a entirely different story.
In this video, we dive deep into the Honolulu Board of Realtors MLS data to uncover the exact times of year that trigger fast closings and bidding wars, and the seasons that might leave your property sitting on the market. Whether you are looking to catch the massive wave of military PCS orders or targeting high-net-worth investors escaping the mainland winter, timing your listing is everything.
Key Takeaways:
🌸 Spring/Early Summer: The best time for volume. Driven by military families relocating to Oahu and parents wanting to settle before the August school year begins.
❄️ Winter (The Secret Season): Perfect for luxury homes and vacation rentals. Late December through February brings wealthy “Snowbirds” and international buyers seeking a slice of paradise.
🍂 Fall: The “snooze fest.” Kids are back in school, and the market slows down as buyers save for the holidays.
A hot market won’t save an overpriced house, and a slow market won’t stop a well-priced home from moving. Ready to look at the calendar and build a strategy tailored to your specific neighborhood?
