The effect of the coronavirus is impacting closed sales. Home and condo sales are down 23% and 47% respectively, compared to last year. For the longer term, home sales in the past 12 months are up 3% and condo sales down 10% from the previous 12 months.

In recognition of National Teacher Appreciation Week, the Locations Foundation honored 15 Oahu teachers for their exceptional service to their institutions and their students in its annual Teacher Award Program.

The effects of the coronavirus pandemic on Oahu home sales are beginning to appear, and a greater impact on housing sales is expected next month, as new escrows were down by 43 percent in April. While there were fewer sales in April, median prices for both single-family homes and condos were greater than last year—an indicator that Oahu housing values will hold steady.
