While the number of sales declined from their recent highs
during the second quarter, the median price for a single-family home
set a new record. The total dollar volume of sales was $1.469 billion
in the second quarter, a decrease of $79 million, or 5.1percent, from
the $1.548 billion in sales achieved in the same quarter last year.
The Median Prices shown in the chart below are the prices
paid for existing residential properties reported sold through our Multiple
Listing Service (MLS) system during the stated time period. The columns
labeled Change indicate the direction of price change from the prior
time period (NC is no change). The following table provides the quarterly
median prices for the Oahu neighborhood groups.
