Honolulu HI home prices in August 2026 had median sale prices of $1,240,000 for single-family homes and $510,000 for condominiums. [\[1\]](https://www.hicentral.com/?ref=josetijam.com) These are separate figures for two property categories, not one median price for every home in Honolulu.

Oahu’s August report gives similar medians: $1,245,000 for homes and $510,000 for condos. [\[2\]](https://www.locationshawaii.com/learn/market-reports/oahu-real-estate-report/?ref=josetijam.com) For a quick example, the reported condo medians match at $510,000, while the home medians differ by $5,000\. [\[2\]](https://www.locationshawaii.com/learn/market-reports/oahu-real-estate-report/?ref=josetijam.com)[\[1\]](https://www.hicentral.com/?ref=josetijam.com) The categories are a useful starting point when you’re looking at a house versus a condo, but each median summarizes its own group rather than pricing a specific property. [\[1\]](https://www.hicentral.com/?ref=josetijam.com)

When you compare a home you’re considering with these figures, start with the matching category: single-family home or condominium. The medians offer a concise snapshot, but a particular property may not match the broader category figure. Use the type of property you plan to buy to choose which benchmark to review first.

## Why are listing prices different from sale prices?

A median sale price measures completed transactions during a reporting period, while a median listing price measures asking prices for homes offered for sale. They answer different questions: what buyers paid for homes that sold, and what sellers are asking for homes currently listed.

Realtor.com reports a $619,000 median listing price for Honolulu. [\[3\]](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Honolulu%5FHI?ref=josetijam.com) The Honolulu Board of REALTORS® reports an August 2026 median sale price of $1,240,000 for single-family homes. [\[1\]](https://www.hicentral.com/?ref=josetijam.com) These figures are not a direct comparison: the sale figure is for a specific property type and reporting month, while the listing figure describes homes offered for sale.

For example, a single-family home that closed during the reporting period contributes to a sale-price measure; a home still on the market contributes to a listing-price measure. The examples may also differ in geographic coverage and calculation methods, so the gap between the two medians does not by itself show how much a typical home sold below its asking price.

When you compare price figures, check the property type, location, reporting date, and whether the figure covers completed sales or active listings. A closer comparison matches those details as closely as possible; otherwise, treat the figures as separate snapshots rather than competing estimates of one home's value.

## Why do the numbers change by property type and area?

Compare Honolulu’s single-family and condo figures separately, and check the geographic scope before treating any price as a market-wide benchmark. The Honolulu Board of REALTORS® reported August 2026 median sale prices of $1,240,000 for single-family homes and $510,000 for condominiums. [\[1\]](https://www.hicentral.com/?ref=josetijam.com) Those category medians describe different kinds of properties, so combining them would blur the distinction between detached homes and condos.

The Oahu report gives August 2026 medians of $1,245,000 for homes and $510,000 for condos, but its stated market is Oahu—the island—not just Honolulu. [\[2\]](https://www.locationshawaii.com/learn/market-reports/oahu-real-estate-report/?ref=josetijam.com) A small difference between the Oahu home figure and the Honolulu single-family figure does not make the geographic coverage identical. Check whether a number is island-wide or Honolulu-specific before using it to compare areas.

Listing pages can have a different scope from a sale-price report. Zillow’s Honolulu page displays individual active listings, including examples priced at $250,000, $330,000, and $1,250,000\. [\[4\]](https://www.zillow.com/honolulu-hi/?ref=josetijam.com) Those examples show available properties on that page, not a summary of the entire market; the page’s inventory may also change over time.

A neighborhood figure is narrower still. A Honolulu neighborhood price-per-square-foot page reports an average of $943 for single-family homes, with data last updated September 26, 2026\. [\[5\]](https://www.hawaiiliving.com/price-per-sq-homes/?ref=josetijam.com) Treat that as a neighborhood-oriented measure, not as a substitute for a citywide median sale price. When comparing a specific home, match the property type and area to the figure you are using.

## Which price figure should you use for your search?

For a recent market benchmark, compare median sale prices for the same property type and reporting period. Honolulu’s August 2026 report lists separate medians for single-family homes and condominiums, while the Oahu report gives island-wide figures for homes and condos. [\[1\]](https://www.hicentral.com/?ref=josetijam.com)[\[2\]](https://www.locationshawaii.com/learn/market-reports/oahu-real-estate-report/?ref=josetijam.com) Use these as context for completed sales, and avoid treating an island-wide figure as if it describes only Honolulu. [\[2\]](https://www.locationshawaii.com/learn/market-reports/oahu-real-estate-report/?ref=josetijam.com)

For homes currently on the market, use a median listing price to understand asking-price context, not to predict the eventual sale price. Realtor.com reports a $619,000 median listing price for homes in Honolulu, but that figure is not a substitute for a sale-price benchmark. [\[3\]](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Honolulu%5FHI?ref=josetijam.com) For example, if you are looking for a condo, compare condo figures rather than using a broad listing measure to infer what a particular condo will sell for.

Before relying on a figure, check that the property type, location, period, and price definition match your question. A Honolulu listing page and an Oahu sales report may cover different geographic areas, so label each figure accordingly. [\[3\]](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Honolulu%5FHI?ref=josetijam.com)[\[2\]](https://www.locationshawaii.com/learn/market-reports/oahu-real-estate-report/?ref=josetijam.com) If you are comparing neighborhoods or types of homes, keep the comparison within the same category and reporting period; then use listing prices only to gauge current asking prices.

## Use the figure that matches the home

Use the August 2026 median that matches the property you are considering: Honolulu’s median sale price was $1,240,000 for single-family homes and $510,000 for condominiums. [\[1\]](https://www.hicentral.com/?ref=josetijam.com) These are useful reference points, not a price estimate for a particular home; the figure for an individual property depends on what is being compared.

Before you use a number to guide your search, check that it matches the home and the question you are asking. For example, if you are looking at a condo, compare it with condo figures—not a single-family home median. If you want to understand current asking prices, make sure the figure describes listings; if you want a recent sale benchmark, make sure it describes completed sales.

Also check the location and reporting date. A number for a broader area may not describe the neighborhood you have in mind, and figures from different months may reflect different periods. When reviewing a listing or market summary, note the property type, whether the price is a sale or asking price, the geographic area, and the date.

As a next step, use the August 2026 medians as a starting point, then compare them with recent figures for the same property type and location that answer your specific question. That like-for-like check will make the number more useful than relying on a headline price alone.
