The price range data at the top of page 2 shows a decline in year over year sales down in all price ranges except the $700k to $900k range. High prices, higher interest rates and limited new home inventory are likely contributing factors. This is very much in line with what the national residential home sales trends show.
The Hawaii Island data shows increase in inventory and decline in Pending Sales. April 30th report showed 977 listings and 481 pending sales. This report shows 1108 active listings and 383 pending sales.
Overall the distressed property inventory on the market is showing a slight increase from a year ago. However in this report we see the percentage of REO or SHORT SALES from last month. Kona is the exception, but only increased by 1%. The REO count also shows some decline in the past month.
