With its warm climate and abundance of outdoor activities, Oahu is a haven for pets and their owners. From exploring the island's numerous pet-friendly parks and trails to relaxing days at the beach, opportunities for your pets to thrive in Hawaii are endless. However, finding pet-friendly housing can be a challenge, especially if you plan to purchase or rent a condo or townhome.

The Oahu single-family home median price surpassed $1.1M in May—the highest so far in 2023. Home sales also reached a high for the year last month and are trending up as we head into the summer home-buying season.

We're pleased to kick off our 10th annual Locations Foundation Clothing Drive June 1. This year, we'll be once again collecting gently used clothing and other items to benefit the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Hawaii. From June 1 to June 16, drop off your lightly used articles of clothing at any Locations office.

Although home sales continue to be lower than in recent years, the market is returning to typical seasonal patterns as homebuyers adjust to higher borrowing rates and sellers adapt to changes in demand. Neighborhoods with a low supply of for-sale housing are still competitive, while neighborhoods with growing inventory are exhibiting fewer bid-ups.
