Yes, I think we've finally entered a buyer's market even in East Honolulu. There are fewer buyers who are qualified to purchase and more inventory on the market. Buyers who have been on the fence shouldn't be afraid to make offers. If they are preapproved or cash buyers they have the power in the current market.

The market overall on Oahu is almost evenly split, with half of the areas going up and half going down:

SF is down from a year ago, condos/townhomes are up. For April 2008, SF Days on the Market has been dropping across the state since January (61) to 43 this month. I think this is because median list prices have dropped down to $725,000 for SF from $749,000 6 months ago. That should tighten up inventory and hopefully set more realisitc expectations for sellers.

Just wanted to follow up with August numbers for Hawaii Kai. Single family home prices in Hawaii Kai did increase a healthy 3%. http://www.prudentiallocations.com/oahu-real-estate-report.asp. So if you have some buyers waiting for prices to fall, you might want to share the numbers with them.

If you you look at the stats just released in Prudential Location's July Oahu Real Estate Report http://www.prudentiallocations.com/oahu-real-estate-report.asp prices for both condos and single family homes have dipped in Hawaii Kai. Although prices in general for Oahu show growth, Hawaii Kai showed a drop -1.6% for single family homes and -7.6% for condos.

FIRST ANSWER
Yes it is, and as always the deals happen when the buyer learns how and when to say Yes!
