The new Monthly Indicators Report from our Honolulu Board of Realtors shows a promising trend. While we aren't back yet to 2008 numbers, sales are well ahead of those in 2009.
Oahu
In March, 251 single family homes sold, vs 190 in 2009 and 272 in 2008. For condos, 352 units sold, vs 258 for 2009, and 378 in 2008. Year-to-date sales are up 36.6% over last year (single family).
Median sales price shows the same good news. In March, for single family it was $599,000, vs $575,000 in 2009, and $630,500 in 2008. For condos, the median price ws $310,000 vs $300,000 last year, and $325,000 in 2008. Year to date, the price is up 4.4% (single family).
For Days on Market, we'd want to see a lowering of numbers, meaning properties are selling faster, and that is what is happening. For single family, DOM was 72 in March, 80 last year, and 74 in 2008. For condos, DOM was 67 in March, 79 last year, and 66 in 2008. Year to date numbers are down 14.3% (single family).
Inventory also is falling. For single family in March, 1,888 units were available, compared to 2,168 in 2009, and 2,228 in 2008. For condos, 2,425 units were on the market in March, vs 2,834 last year, and 2,819 in 2009. This equates to 7.2 months in March of this year, vs 10.3 months last year, and 7.9 months in 2008 for single family. For condos, the numbers are 6.8 months this March, vs 9.3 months last year, and 6.0 months in 2008.
