Honolulu Board of REALTORS® Released the December 2012 & Year End Residential Resale Statistics.

The residential resale statistics were released by the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® last week.

The median sale price for single family homes has remained steady with a .8% drop to $600,000. There was an increase in number of closed sales by 8.6%, 291 sales. The average sales price for a single family home in Oahu for the month of December was $855,199, up 24.7%.

Oahu's condominium market has picked up quite a bit in December. The median price was at $335,000, a 17.5% increase. There were 401 closed sales which was a 20.4% increase. The average sales price of a condominium during the month of December on Oahu was $393,083, a 19.3% increase.

The reflects the unusually active real estate market that I have been encountering out in the field. There are always sales that are pressured to close by the end of the year, but usually activity is quieter during the November and December holidays. This was definitely not the case for me during the last two months. That increased activity has continued through to January so it does not seem like it was just a bunch of people that wanted to close a transaction by the end of 2012.
