Nov 2024 Oahu Real Estate Market Update: the Feds just met and decided to lower the rate by another 0.25%. Interest rates are at about 6.8% and haven't come down quite yet because of inflation concerns and the lower treasury bond prices. But as the Feds continue to cut rates eventually we should expect to see mortgage rates to come down. This will create a lot more buyer competition, but also unlock some extra inventory from sellers who are sitting on a low interest rate mortgage. Now that the presidential election is over, we expect some stability to enter the market and buyer confidence to improve. So far 2024 has been about 0% to 5% higher each month than 2023 and I expect the same for next year in 2025. If you have any specific questions regarding your particular neighborhood, building, or situation, please reach out and I'd be happy to have a conversation together. Have a great Thanksgiving and looking forward to connect connecting with you next month in December for your next Oahu real estate market update.

August 2024 Oahu Real Estate Market Update: Stock market crashed this past Monday due to global uncertainty and recession fears which is putting a lot of pressure on the Feds to lower rates and interest rates have come down quite a bit. In the last 3 months it has dropped a full 1% from about 7% last May to about 6% now, with more decreases expected in the near future. How do you think presidential elections affect home sales? In general, elections have historically had short-term negative impacts on homebuying and homeselling activity. Election years can have a big influence on real estate matters because of 3 interelated channels: uncertainty, policy expectations, and consumer confidence. Consumers tend to wait on the sidelines during periods of uncertainty when it comes to making big financial decisions. Except for 2 presidential elections in the past 40 years, the months of June through October experience significant declines in real estate activity. Looking at some of the sales stats for last month in July, closed sales for single-family homes have increased 20.1% to 269 closed sales and for condos decreased 7.8% to 389 closed sales. This could be due to the insurance shortage issues a lot of condominiums are facing making it harder for buyers to purchase with a loan. Median sales price for single-family homes went up 4.6% to $1,140,000 and for condos went up 1.8% to $509,000. Median days on market for single-family homes went down 6.3% to 15 days and for condos 87.5% to 30 days. The days on market for condos nearly doubled also likely do to the insurance shortage and difficulty in financing issues. If you have any particular questions about your specific realistic goals please don't hesitate to reach out and I would be happy to provide you with the information that is most valuable for you. Have a great rest of your August and I will see you next month in September!

July 2024 Oahu Real Estate Market Update: Interest rates are about 6.98%, Feds are holding rate cuts because inflation is still not at their target of 2%, so it's going to take longer for the interest rates to come down a bit. Closed sales for SFH up +4% and Condos down -24.5% (due to hurricane insurance replacement coverage shortage and not being able to get a loan). Median sales price for SFH up +6.7% and Condos up +3.9% (despite the higher interest rate environment prices are still going up due to inventory still being low and a number of buyers willing to accept a higher interest rate for now knowing they can refinance in the future). Median days on market for SFH down -11.8% and Condos up 44.4% (due to the same insurance issues as above). If you have any specific questions about your particular neighborhood or condominium, please reach out and I'd be happy to give you the information that's most important to you. Thanks so much for listening, have a great rest of your July, and I'll see you on the next market update in August.

Commodre #3D just SOLD for full asking $580,000! Fun fact I used to own this unit in the past about 2 owners ago. Selling for $32,000 higher in just under a year of ownership is hard to do especially in this market, but that’s just what we did for our seller. We started off with professional photos and videos from our marketing team and did a little pre-marketing by reaching out to agents who have sold recently in the building as well as mailing out postcards to all of the owners. We were present for showings and held open houses in order to convey the benefits of the property to guests in person. Sure enough the right buyer came along from a fellow colleague and we were able to sell for full asking. Thank you to @mailagibson and @koacassady for bringing the buyer and being so great to work with. We even negotiated a rent back to allow time for our seller to stay in the unit to sell off their belongings before moving back to the mainland. Have you had any thoughts of selling your property?

June 2024 Oahu Real Estate Market Update: Fed's kept interest rates unchanged in the 5.25 to 5.50% range at its policy meeting last week and hinted at maybe only 1 interest rate cut this year. This is to keep pressure on the economy to cool inflation back to the 2% rate as it was running at 2.7% in April. Interest rates are currently about 7.12% for 30 year fixed with 0 points causing a slower than usual summer sale for housing. Currently, I have 14 listings available on the market and very few showing requests. Sellers will have to be a little more patient in this market or price it accordingly if they need to sell soon. Buyers looking for decreased competition should take advantage of discounts from motivated sellers. Single family home median prices were down 2.2% to $1,085,000 and condos were down 2.0% to $495,000. If you have any specific questions about your particular situation, please reach out and I would be happy to discuss some real estate strategies that might be best for you. Thanks for tuning in, have a great rest of your June, and I will see you on the next Oahu real estate market update in July.
