Median real estate prices on Oahu have not suffered from COVID-19 impact. Median home prices are well above last year’s levels, and condo median prices are rising above last year. The final median prices for 2020 are $830,000 for homes and $435,000 for condos, up 5% and 2% from last year, respectively.

Homes for sale are scarcer than they have ever been, with only 453 active listings on the market.
