However, the active inventory of single-family homes was 38.8% more than last year, and the active inventory of condos was up 8.4%.

Single-family home sales fell across most regions on O‘ahu, with the largest drop in sales volume occurring in the Ewa Plain, Kāne‘ohe, and Leeward regions. In the condo market, the Metro region accounted for the largest decline in sales volume, ending the month down 26.7% with 285 sales compared to 389 a year ago.

Forty-nine percent of July single-family home sales closed above the original asking price compared to 70% one year ago and 62% one month ago. Although the majority, or 66%, of sold single-family homes received the full asking price or more, that share also fell compared to 79% of sales during the same time last year. The portion of condo sales that closed above the original asking price was 37%, nearly flat with the previous year’s 38%, but down slightly compared to recent months. Sixty percent of closed condo sales in July received the full asking price or more compared to 62% both a year ago and last month.

A larger portion of new single-family home listings remained in active inventory at the end of the month. Out of the 386 new listings, 243, or 63%, remained active compared to 46% last year. Similarly, the condo market also saw a larger share of new listings remaining in active inventory at the end of the month.
