Coldwell Banker Island Properties is proud to release the November 2025 Hawai‘i Island Real Estate Market Update, offering a detailed look at residential trends across the Big Island as the year moves toward its close.
This monthly report provides homeowners, Buyers, Sellers, and investors with district-level insights for both single-family homes and condominiums, helping clients understand how pricing, demand, and inventory are shifting at a hyperlocal level.
For Buyers and Sellers in West Hawai‘i, particularly Kailua-Kona, North Kona, and South Kona, these insights are especially valuable. Local experts like Marco A. Silva (Marco In Kona) use this data to help clients navigate timing, pricing strategy, and long-term opportunity in one of Hawai‘i Island’s most active markets.
November 2025 Market Snapshot: Hawai‘i Island
According to the November 2025 data, the Hawai‘i Island real estate market remained steady but price-sensitive as Buyer engagement continued to improve:
- Total residential sales: 184 transactions (+7% year-over-year)
- Island-wide median sales price: $498,500 (−9% year-over-year)
- Buyer activity: Increasing, supported by mortgage rates remaining lower than mid-year highs
- Market dynamic: Higher sales volume paired with softer pricing reflects cautious but active Buyers heading into winter
This divergence, more transactions but moderated prices, signals a market where Buyers are re-engaging thoughtfully, while Sellers must remain realistic and strategic.
District-Level Highlights: November 2025
One of the most valuable aspects of the Coldwell Banker Island Properties market report is its district-by-district breakdown, allowing clients to understand how different areas of the island are performing very differently.
Kona Real Estate Market (North & South Kona)
- North Kona
- Total sales increased year-over-year
- Median prices adjusted modestly, reflecting Buyer price sensitivity
- Continued demand for well-priced homes in Kailua-Kona and surrounding areas
- South Kona
- Fewer total transactions, but select higher-end sales supported pricing
- Lifestyle-driven demand remains strong for ocean views, acreage, and coffee belt properties
For Buyers and Sellers working with Marco In Kona, these nuances matter. Marco A. Silva regularly leverages district-specific data like this to guide pricing strategies, identify opportunities, and help clients understand how Kona differs from other Big Island submarkets.
East Hawai‘i (Hilo, Puna, Hamakua)
- Hilo & South Hilo: Lower transaction volume with mixed pricing trends
- Puna: Remains one of the island’s most active and affordable markets by volume
- Hamakua: Limited inventory continues to cause volatility in median pricing
Kohala (North & South)
- South Kohala: Fewer sales, but high-value transactions continue to influence medians
- North Kohala: Small sample size leads to sharp year-over-year percentage swings
Single-Family Homes vs. Condominiums
Single-Family Homes (November 2025)
- 130 closed sales
- Median sold price: $537,500 (−2% YoY)
- Median days on market: 39 days, indicating steady absorption
Condominiums (November 2025)
- 38 closed sales
- Median sold price: $604,913 (−7% YoY)
- Median days on market increased, suggesting Buyers are more selective
For Kona-area condos, particularly in Kailua-Kona, this reinforces the importance of pricing accuracy and strong presentation, something experienced agents like Marco A. Silva emphasize when advising Sellers.
