Big Isle home prices
|
Big Island condos fetched a median $324,500, nearly a record.
"The inventory is the key and it's very low now," said Brian Berry, president of the Kona Board of Realtors. "There is still room for these prices to grow."
As is typical in the winter months, sales activity cooled significantly. But the number of sales transactions across the tapped-out neighbor islands was lower even than December 2003.
Single-family home transactions on the Big Island slipped 10.7 percent to 207, while condo sales dropped 31.8 percent to 62.
Maui single-family and condo sales came in at 100 and 99, respectively, compared with 144 and 169 the previous December.
On Kauai, 47 single-family homes were sold, down 12.9 percent, and 25 condos changed hands, down 41.4 percent.
