What are homes selling for in Kapolei right now?

Roughly a million dollars for a house, and about half that for a condo, depending on which part of Kapolei you mean. The Honolulu Board of REALTORS does not publish a single Kapolei figure. In its Makakilo area, the hillside side of Kapolei, single-family homes sold at a median of $1,030,000 on 13 sales in September 2026, in a median of 13 days. For January through September the Makakilo median was $1,022,500 on 88 sales, down 7% from $1,100,000. Makakilo condos had a nine-month median of $521,000 on 71 sales. On the flat side, MLS neighborhoods named Kapolei had a nine-month single-family median of $880,000 on 11 sales and a condo median of $515,000 on 32 sales. The Board's October area report had not been released when I updated this page. Island-wide, the Oahu single-family median in October 2026 was $1,150,000.
Why the split: the Board reports by tax map zone. Kapolei's flat lands fall in the Ewa Plain area (TMK 1-9-1), shared with Ewa Beach, and the hillside falls in Makakilo (TMK 1-9-2 to 1-9-3). The live charts and listings on this page use the MLS city of Kapolei, which covers both. The Ewa Beach market report has the full Ewa Plain table. My Kapolei guide covers the area itself.
| Single-family | Condos and townhomes | |
|---|---|---|
| September sales | 13 (5 a year earlier) | 8 (14 a year earlier) |
| September median | $1,030,000 ($1,390,000 a year earlier) | $509,500 (down 3%) |
| Median days on market | 13 (40 a year earlier) | 19 (66 a year earlier) |
| Share of original list price received | 99.0% | 99.6% |
| Pending sales | 8 (10 a year earlier) | 7 (6 a year earlier) |
| Active listings | 26 (down 33% from 39) | 27 (down 18% from 33) |
| January–September sales | 88 (up 19% from 74) | 71 (74 a year earlier) |
| January–September median | $1,022,500 (down 7%) | $521,000 (down 4%) |
Read the Makakilo drop carefully
The September single-family median fell 26% from a year earlier, but last September had only 5 sales. This September had 13. With samples that small, one or two hillside homes can swing the median. The nine-month figure, down 7% on 88 sales, is the better read. The clearer signal is supply: only 26 houses were for sale in Makakilo at the end of September, a third fewer than a year earlier, and the nine-month share of original list price received on condos was 100.0%.

If you're buying in Kapolei
Decide early whether you want the flat side or the hill. Nine-month medians ran from $848,500 in Kekuilani to $1,305,000 in Kahiwelo. In Makakilo, with 26 houses for sale and a 13-day median in September, good listings will not wait for a second showing. Condo buyers outside Ko Olina have the widest price range to work with: Makakilo condos sold at a $521,000 nine-month median. Board figures are resales, so compare any new-home price you're quoted against nearby resales.
If you're selling in Kapolei
Low Makakilo inventory works in your favor. September single-family sales closed at 99.0% of the original list price. Because the sample is small, price from your own subdivision's sales, not the area median. A Kahiwelo home and a Makakilo-Lower home are hundreds of thousands of dollars apart. Ko Olina owners should price against Ko Olina sales only. For a pricing review, call (808) 201-3577.
