The year-to-date total dollar sales volume generated in the housing market through July was $1,524.1 million, a decrease of 34.5 percent, or $801.4 million, compared to the $2.3 billion produced one year ago.
"This is the second consecutive month we've had an uptick in single-family home resales and it is a welcome change for the current housing market," said Sandra "Sam" Bangerter, president of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. "Also, the median prices paid in both housing categories increased this month compared to last. While we're continually monitoring economic conditions, both nationally and locally, the numbers we're seeing for the Oahu residential real estate market may be indicating that we're already past the bottom."
"Credit our small, continually shrinking inventory for maintaining relatively stable price levels, even with the lower demand for housing," added Harvey Shapiro, research economist at the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. "President Obama says that the government stimulus programs are bearing fruit, particularly for the auto sector, so we're hopeful that the housing industry will follow suit."
