Did Oahu really see a $65M home sale in 2025… and what does that say about the luxury market going into 2026? 🌴Oahu’s high-end real estate market turned heads in 2025, with the top 10 home sales all clearing $8M and several iconic properties trading along Kahala, Lanikai, Kailua Beachside, Diamond Head, and even the North Shore. From rare direct oceanfront estates to beach-access homes and large beachfront compounds, these sales reveal where buyers continue to place the highest value.The biggest takeaway is clear. Location, beachfront access, and lifestyle-driven properties are still dominating pricing, with Kahala firmly holding its place as Oahu’s luxury epicenter. As 2026 unfolds, the big question is whether we’ll see another outlier sale—or a shift in buyer behavior as inventory and...

The final quarter of 2025 revealed that the Honolulu, Hawaii, market adjusted to shifting buyer priorities, to slightly tighter inventory, and to more deliberate decision‑making across all residential segments. While pricing trends varied, the overarching theme was selectivity—buyers are still active, but they are gravitating toward properties that offer clear value, good condition, and lifestyle alignment. This recalibration phase underscores the importance of strategic positioning by sellers and thoughtful asset selection with opportunities for buyers favoring those who stay attuned to the evolving market conditions as we move into the new year.Single‑Family Segment — Stable Fundamentals in a Slower MarketThe single‑family market remains stable but slower, with buyers showing increase...

Honolulu Condo Insurance Outlook 2026: Stabilized, but at a Premium.As we kick off 2026, the "condo insurance crisis" that defined the last two years in Honolulu has shifted gears. We are no longer in free-fall, but we have certainly landed on a new, higher plateau.Here is the snapshot of the market right now:The Panic has Subsided: The mass non-renewals of 2024 are largely behind us. Thanks to the activation of the Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund (HHRF) and legislative pressure (Act 296), capacity has returned to the market. "Uninsurable" buildings are becoming rare again.The Price of Stability: While availability is back, "cheap" insurance is not. Premiums have stabilized—and in some cases dropped 10–15% from their peak—but owners should not expect a return to pre-2023 rates. High mainte...
