While prices of homes are being outbid over another, one option to think about are new projects. Though some may still have a tough time getting a lottery pick, prices tend to be fixed and buyers won’t need to worry about paying more than the listed price. There are new homes being built in Kakaako, Hoopili/Ewa Beach, and Koa Ridge/Waipahu. Contact us if interested. 
PBN reports Oahu luxury homes jump up 64% in January 2021 compared to January 2020. That’s a significant increase! They’re using homes sold higher than $2 million for reference. January 2021 had 23 luxury homes sold while January 2020 had 14 luxury homes sold. It makes sense for those that can afford it, where they can live in their asset and have it as an investment. 
January’s spotlight from HBR is on Waipahu condos and Kapahulu-Diamond Head single family homes. We can see median price rise a decent percent up this year compared to January 2020. Waipahu condo prices jumping up 20% and Kapahulu-Diamond Head single family homes up 13%. With current low mortgage rates, we might continue seeing these median prices go up this year.
