Aloha and happy holidays from 365 Hawaii! 🎄🌺
This month we’re bringing you a full Island-Wide Real Estate Market Update, looking at both November’s numbers and how 2025 shaped the Big Island housing market.
In this video, we talk story with trusted professionals from across the island to break down:
📊 November Market Numbers + 2025 Trends
• Mortgage rates finishing the year around the low 6% range 
• Buyer behavior shifting with more negotiation and longer days on market 
• Condo activity changing with HOA/insurance adjustments across complexes 
🌋 Island-Wide Neighborhood Updates
We look at what’s happening in:
• Kona neighborhoods like Pualani Estates, Lokahi Makai & Ali‘i Lani condos 
• Waikoloa Village + resort condo inventory and pricing pressure 
• Hilo, Puna & Hawaiian Paradise Park activity, inventory & buyer’s market shifts 
• South Hawaii + lava zone communities and investor interest 
💡 Year-in-Review + 2026 Insight
We look back at how:
• Mortgage rates moved from +7% into the 6% range this year 
• Buyer demand softened then began re-emerging
• Condo fees + insurance changes impacted pricing
• Days on market stretched, especially for high-end and resort listings
And then we pull out the crystal ball and talk predictions for 2026 — from mortgage direction to price trends and where opportunity may show up.
