Is now a good time to buy luxury real estate in Hawaii?

While sales volume fluctuates, pricing efficiency and competitive buyer activity remain strong, especially for well-positioned homes. From oceanfront luxury homes on Oahu to Diamond Head luxury real estate and Kahala gated estate homes, Hawaii’s high-end market continues to offer a diverse range of exceptional properties. Below is our Hawaii luxury homes market report for June 2026, offering insight into current trends, pricing, and buyer activity across this distinguished price point.

Hawaii Luxury Home Market Overview

August was another strong month for Oahu’s luxury single-family home market. While sales volume declined 19% from July, homes sold faster, prices increased, and sellers achieved nearly full asking price, with 56.5% of luxury homes selling at or above asking. The sharp drop in price reductions and continued strength in price-per-square-foot metrics suggest buyer demand remains healthy and well-priced homes continue to attract strong competition.

Hawaii Luxury Condo Market Overview

August brought a slowdown in Oahu’s luxury condo market compared to July, with sales volume down 47% and pricing metrics softening modestly. Despite fewer closings, the market remained resilient, with one-third of all sales closing at or above asking price and a significant increase in pending sales and active inventory signaling continued buyer activity. Rising escrow counts suggest August’s slowdown may be a temporary pause, with stronger closing activity potentially on the horizon as we move into the fall market.
