What the Hawaii market looks like right now

Across the 6 Hawaii cities we cover, the median of the typical home values was $870,037 in July 2026. The spread inside the state is wide: the typical home in Honolulu was $765,367 and in Kailua it was $1,532,217, which is why the page for your own city is the one worth reading.

Of the 6 Hawaii cities with data, 2 saw homes go under contract in 15 days or fewer and 1 took 31 days or more, in July 2026. Those are days to an accepted offer, before a buyer's mortgage adds another 30 to 45 days on top.

Values are mostly rising: 6 of the 6 Hawaii cities with a year-over-year figure went up, 0 went down. A house in good condition should usually be listed here; cash makes sense for one that cannot pass an appraisal.

Figures come from Zillow's public research data and describe whole cities, not individual houses.

Where to start: closing in Hawaii

Selling in Hawaii means closing with an escrow company, and a tax or fee on the transfer of the deed is part of the settlement. The practical points, in plain words:

  • Hawaii closes through escrow companies.
  • The state levies a conveyance tax on the seller, settled at closing.
  • Sellers who are not Hawaii residents face HARPTA withholding on the sale price unless they qualify for an exemption.
  • A great deal of Hawaii property is leasehold rather than fee simple, and the remaining lease term drives the price and the buyer pool.
  • A seller disclosure statement is required by statute and buyers have a rescission window after receiving it.

Selling a house in Hawaii: common questions

How fast can I sell my house in Hawaii?

Once you accept a cash offer, closing in Hawaii normally takes 7 to 21 days, limited mostly by the title search. For comparison, the median Hawaii city on our list took 24 days just for a home to go under contract in July 2026, before any mortgage timeline. If you need longer to organise a move, pick a date two or three months out instead.

Do I need an attorney to sell a house in Hawaii?

In Hawaii closings are normally conducted by an escrow company rather than an attorney, so one is not required. You are free to have your own attorney review the contract before you sign, and we would encourage it. On a cash sale we pay the ordinary closing costs.

Is there a transfer tax when I sell a house in Hawaii?

Yes. Hawaii has a tax or fee on the transfer of a deed, settled on the closing statement. Who pays it is set by custom and by the contract; the closing agent will show the exact figure for your county before you sign. This is general information, not tax advice.
