September 2025 Real Estate Update | Hilo & East Hawaii Trends

Julie Ziemelis -365 Hawaii Group and Nui Browning from Team Nakashima bring you the East Hawaii Real Estate Market Update for August 2025. Even though we’re recording in September, we’ll look back at August’s numbers and also talk about the latest shifts we’re already seeing this month as we move into fall.

Here’s what we cover in today’s market update:
🏡 South Hilo Market Snapshot – active listings holding steady, days on market trends, and how quickly homes are moving.
📈 Median Home Prices – where prices are sitting now compared to last month and what that means for buyers and sellers.
📊 Monthly Sales Numbers – an overview of inventory and demand, including how many homes closed and what buyers are paying.
🔮 Trends Moving Forward – insights into interest rates, affordability, and what we expect heading into the end of the year.

East Hawaii has a very different market dynamic compared to West Hawaii, and these updates can help you understand what’s really happening across the island. Whether you’re looking to purchase your first home, invest in a property, or sell in today’s market, having the latest data and local perspective is key.

🌴 Thinking about buying or selling in Hawaii? Reach out – we’d love to answer your questions and guide you through the process.
