What’s going on in Oahu’s real estate market? Are homes selling just as fast as last month? Hi, I am Fawn Bertram your local real estate agent in Oahu. Before you do anything, let’s talk about the housing stats for May, and then let’s talk about what is happening right now on the island.

President of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®

Let’s see what the President of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®, Shannon Heaven said.

“The market’s rapid pace is showing no signs of slowing, and buyers entering the market continue to face stiff competition, especially for homes under $800,000.

One property received 60 offers within one week of being listed, which is a clear indication that O‘ahu is in desperate need of more affordable homes.”

Sellers

Sellers, the market is still hot and is moving incredibly fast. We continue to see low inventory on the island and the demand is strong. You’re in a great position to list your home for sale as prices continue to hit new record highs on Oahu. Homes being listed for sale are usually receiving multiple offers, over the asking price, in a matter of days. If you’re considering selling, let’s discuss what your goals are and go over what your home is really worth.

Buyers

Buyers, patience is still the key if you’re looking to buy. Be prepared to place multiple offers on several properties. Work with an agent that knows the market and area well. They will be your best resource in writing a competitive offer.

Even in this crazy market, we have strategies to help you with getting your offer accepted. If you want to know how, contact us.
