The Big Island in context

Hawaii Island's luxury market ($3M+) closed the first half of 2026 at 36 sales, up about 5.9% year over year, on roughly $385 million in volume, with a median sold price of $8.56M, up 26.9% year over year, the highest $3M+ median of any Hawaiian island, at an average 151 days on market (Hawaii Life, Midyear 2026). In the first quarter the $3M+ median ran near $8.75M, up 20.7% year over year, at an average $2,331 per square foot (Hawaii Life, Q1 2026), and through the first three quarters the island recorded 26 residential sales above $10M, more than O'ahu, Maui, and Kaua'i combined (Hawaii Life). For the broader island: single-family homes closed October 2026 at a $509,000 median, up 2% year over year, on 167 sales, with median days on market at 50.5, while condos closed 38 sales at a $535,000 median, down 13% year over year (Title Guaranty Hawai'i, October 2026). At the district level, the September 2026 report, the latest published detail, shows South Kohala at 14 single-family sales and a $1,137,500 median, plus 10 condo sales at a $1,096,500 median with about 133 median days to sell, while North Kona ran 20 single-family sales at a $1,350,000 median and 18 condo sales at a $547,500 median (Title Guaranty Hawai'i, September 2026). Along the resort corridor, South Kohala's average sale price across Q1–Q3 2026 was $2.099M, up 28% year over year, on $592M in total volume (Hawaii Life, Oct 2026). On supply, Mauna Lani sits near 6.0 months of inventory, the most balanced of the Kohala Coast resorts (KE Team Hawaii, May 2026), and Kona single-family supply ran about 5.6 months at that same reading. Low-volume resort markets price slowly and swing sharply from month to month, so treat these figures as a snapshot, not a trend line.
