The 18 most competitive housing markets in Hawaii
Across much of the U.S., people are struggling to buy and sell homes. Homebuyers are scared off by high prices and economic uncertainty, while home sellers are staying put until they can earn more profit from the sale. Student loan debt is adding even more pressure on younger buyers. As such, houses are selling at a historically slow rate, especially in the Sun Belt—even as mortgage rates fall.
That's not the case everywhere, though. In today's market, understanding your local level of competition can help you make smarter decisions. It affects everything from how quickly homes sell to how much negotiating power buyers and sellers have.
Conditions vary widely across Hawaii—but this list can help. Redfin Real Estate ranked the most competitive cities in Hawaii based on their combined months of supply (lower is better), average sale to list ratio (higher is better), and median days on market (lower is better).
