Buying a Home on Kauai, Real Estate Statistics April 2023 vs 2022

It’s May, and it’s time for a Kauai home sales update! In this video, we’ll compare the first four months of 2023 to the same time last year, and we’ll also take a look at just the month of April 2023.

Low Inventory, Sales Down

The data is telling the same story — a lack of inventory across the board, and the number of sales are down. For homes island-wide, we sold 211 in the first four months of 2022 compared to only 89 in 2023, a -57.82% drop. The South Shore had the highest difference, with only 19 homes sold at the end of April 2023 compared to 67 in 2022, a -71.64% decrease.

The North Shore had sold 45 homes at the end of April 2022 compared to 16 the same time in 2023 a -64.44% decrease. Lihue had sold 14 homes at the end of the first four months and now they’re at 13 sold which is a -7.14% decrease.

Home Prices on Kauai

But what about prices? Let’s take a closer look at April 2022 and compare it to April 2023. In April 2022, there were 60 homes sold island-wide, and the sold price compared to the original list price was 99.5%. In April 2023, only 22 homes were sold, and the sold to original list price was 93.3%.

While the lack of inventory is still skewing the median price, we’re seeing some upticks in a couple of areas. Island-wide, the median price for a home at the end of the first four months of 2022 was $1,200,000, and now it’s $1,037,000, a -13.58% decrease. The South Shore, however, saw an increase from $1,258,750 in 2022 to $1,525,500 in 2023, a 21.19% increase.

The North Shore is slightly off at $2,200,000 in 2022 compared to $2,022,500 in 2023, a decrease of -8.07%. Lihue is up 4.58% from $927,500 in 2022 to $970,000 in 2023.
