How fast are Hawaii Kai homes selling right now?
By Tony Kawaguchi, REALTOR (RS-66616), The Kawaguchi Group, eXp Realty (RB-21841). Selling in Hawaii since 2005. Updated November 11, 2026.
Fast. In September 2026, Hawaii Kai single-family homes sold in a median of 11 days, down from 25 a year earlier, and sellers received a median 99.3% of their original asking price, according to the Honolulu Board of REALTORS. Through the first nine months of the year, Hawaii Kai houses sold at a median of $1,650,000 on 104 sales (up 3% from $1,605,000), and condos and townhomes at $788,000 on 106 sales (down 5% from $827,000). These are the Board's newest Hawaii Kai figures; its October area report had not been released when I updated this page. Island-wide, Oahu's October 2026 medians were $1,150,000 for houses and $499,000 for condos.
The Board's Hawaii Kai area is tax map key zone 1-3-9, from Portlock and the marina to Kalama Valley. The live charts and listings below use the MLS Hawaii Kai area and update on their own. For streets, marinas and condo projects, see my Hawaii Kai guide.

| Median days on market, September | 11 (25 a year earlier) | 29 (68 a year earlier) |
| Active listings, end of September | 48 (41 a year earlier) | 73 (68 a year earlier) |
| January–September sales | 104 (down 4%) | 106 (down 9%) |

Ignore the 32% headline
September's single-family median looked like a 32% jump from a year earlier. It came from 8 sales. When one month has that few closings, a couple of marina-front sales can push the median up and a couple of Kalama Valley sales can pull it down. The nine-month median, up 3%, is the honest read. The same goes for condos: September's 22% drop rested on 10 sales, while the nine-month condo median was down 5%.
Neighborhood spread inside Hawaii Kai
January–September 2026 single-family medians from the Board's neighborhood summary (MLS neighborhood names): Kalama Valley, 22 sales at $1,400,000; Koko Head Terrace, 19 at $1,450,000; Hahaione-Lower, 6 at $1,450,000; Mariners Ridge, 10 at $1,940,000; Mariners Cove, 7 at $2,385,000; and Portlock, 4 at $4,690,000. On the condo side, West Marina had 71 sales at an $865,000 median and Hahaione-Lower 27 at $570,000.
What it means for buyers
Houses here still sell quickly when they are priced right, so have financing lined up before you tour. There is a little more to choose from than a year ago, with 48 single-family listings at the end of September versus 41. Condo buyers have more room: 73 listings and a nine-month median time on market of 48 days. For a marina-front or waterfront property, ask early about flood zone, insurance, seawall or dock condition, and any association rules on boat slips.
What it means for sellers
An 11-day median in September and nearly full asking price is a good sign for single-family sellers, but year-to-date sales were 4% behind last year and new listings were down. That points to steady buyers rather than a frenzy. Condo sellers should prepare for a longer listing period and buyers who compare fees and reserves across projects. I can pull recent sales from your street or project; call (808) 201-3577.
