The Kohala Coast is the majestic area located on the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. The Big Island received its name as to differentiate it between the State of Hawaii and the Island of Hawaii. The Kohala Coast is made up of two regions, North Kohala and South Kohala, with North Kohala covering the more rural, northern end of the island, including the small towns of Hawi and Kapa’au, as well as the Kohala Ranch communities farther south.
South Kohala covers the world class resorts of Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani and Waikoloa Beach Resorts’, the small town of Waikoloa Village, located 6 miles inland from the resorts and Waimea, the beautiful town in the interior Waimea Valley. You can find market updates for many of these areas by visiting the Market Update Page on my website.

The number of single-family homes sold in October 2019 on the Kohala Coast increased substantially from last October, with 35 homes selling in October 2019, up from 24 homes last year. That increase was felt in both South Kohala, with 27 single-family homes selling, up from 19, and North Kohala, with 8 homes selling, up from 5 homes. The condo market also experienced an increase, rising from 17 units sold in October 2018 to 26 units this October.
Although there was an increase in sales volume in October 2019, the overall year-to-date sales volume on the Kohala Coast has been somewhat stagnant in 2019, with 290 single-family homes being sold this year, down slightly from the 292 homes sold this time last year. The number of single-family homes in North Kohala increased slightly from 56 homes sold by this time last year to 59 homes this year, and South Kohala saw a slight reduction, with the number of single-family homes falling from 263 homes last year to 231 homes sold this year. The number of condos sold year-to-date enjoyed a small increase, rising to 263 units sold this year from 260 units sold in 2018.
The change in median price this October over last year was, however, a mixed bag. The median sale price in North Kohala experienced a spectacular decrease, falling from $1,169,000 in October 2018 to $730,000 in October of this year. This type of wild change in median sales price is quite common in a low sales volume environment such as North Kohala. The South Kohala median sales price in October 2019, however, saw a small increase, rising to $599,000 this year from $580,000 in October 2018. The condo market median sales price enjoyed the largest gains, rising from $508,500 in October 2018 to $720,000 this year.
Even with the mixed bag of numbers in October’s median sales price, all market segments remained relatively the same as last year in their year-to-date numbers. Single-family homes in North Kohala saw the only decrease, however small, in their year-to-date median sales price, falling an ever so slight 0.61% from $825,000 in 2018 to $820,000 this year, while the single-family homes in South Kohala remained the same, staying at $595,000 in both years. The condo market experienced the only increase in its year-to-date median sales price, rising just 1.34% from $522,000 in 2018 to $529,000 this year.
Analysis: October was the first time in many months that we saw a significant increase in sales volume. It was not, however, enough to overcome the flat year-to-date volume in 2019. And except for the usually wild fluctuations in North Kohala, the median sales price has also remained flat throughout the year. As we head into the busy winter season, it remains to be seen if 2019 is a pause in the market, or a trend.

Analysis: The sale of single-family homes in Mauna Kea Resort has bounced back the last few quarters after three quarters of zero sales, while the condo sale in Q3 fell to just one unit after three quarters of 4 or more units sold. The low amount of inventory could be a contributing factor to the relatively low volume of sales.

The number of single-family homes sold on the Kohala Coast in September 2019 remained the same as September 2018, with 20 homes selling in September of both years. That similarity was not felt in both parts of Kohala with North Kohala’s sales volume increasing (from 3 homes up to 6), and South Kohala’s decreasing (from 17 homes down to 14). The condo market also had a small decrease, down from 21 units sold in September 2018 to 18 units this September.
Although the monthly sales volume remained the same in September of both years, the year-to-date volume in Kohala experienced a decrease, with 254 homes being sold this year, down from 268 homes in 2018. This decrease was felt in all market segments, except for North Kohala where the number of single-family homes remained the same at 51 homes sold. South Kohala, however, experienced a substantial decrease, with the number of single-family homes falling from 217 homes last year to 203 homes sold this year. As with the other market segments, the condo year-to-date volume also fell, dropping to 236 units this year from 243 units sold in 2018.
Unlike the sales volume, the change in the September median sales price was up across the board. The median sale price in North Kohala experienced the biggest rise in median sales price, rising from $490,000 in September 2018 to an amazing $940,000 in September of this year. The South Kohala median sales price in September 2018 saw an impressive increase, rising from $615,000 in September 2018 to $641,250 this year. The condo market median sales price increase was also dramatic, increasing from $477,000 in September 2018 to $597,500 this year.
Other than North Kohala, the year-to-date median sales price continued its slowing trend. Single-family homes in North Kohala experienced the only increase, rising a dramatic 12.92% from $797,000 in 2018 to $900,000 this year. While in South Kohala, single-family homes remained unchanged at $595,000. The South Kohala condo market had a fractional decrease, falling 0.52% from $525,000 in 2018 to $522,250 this year.
Analysis: The September 2019 sales volume, as well as the year-to-date numbers, continue their cooling trend over 2018’s numbers. The September monthly median sales price did see gains over last September’s number, so it may be a sign that the cooling trend is ending.

The number of single-family homes sold in August 2019 in Kohala increased slightly over last August, with 36 homes selling in August this year, up from 34 homes selling in August 2018.

The number of condos sold in August 2019 also experienced a drop, with sales volume falling from the 2018 number, down from 37 units last August to 23 units this year.

There were 232 single-family homes sold this year in Kohala, down from 248 homes being sold by this time in 2018. This decrease was felt in both parts of Kohala with the number of single-family homes sold in North Kohala decreasing slightly, (from 48 homes in 2018 to 45 homes this year) while the sales volume in South Kohala had an even larger decrease (from 200 single-family homes sold last year to 187 homes this year). The year-to-date number of condos sold is also behind last year’s pace, falling from 222 units sold last year, to 217 units sold in 2019.
Although the decrease in the number of single-family homes sold in August 2019 was felt in all regions, the change in median sales price was not. The median sale price in North Kohala rose from $612,338 in August 2018 to an amazing $725,000 in August of this year, while in South Kohala, the median sales price experienced a slight decrease, falling from $577,500 in August 2018 to $565,000 in August this year. The condo market also experienced the downward slide in prices, with the August 2019 median sales price falling to $525,000 from $585,000 in August 2018.
As with the monthly sales volumes, the year-to-date median sales price also fell across all market segments, except North Kohala. The median year-to-date sales price in the condo market experienced the largest drop, falling a slight 0.95% from $525,000 in 2018 to $520,000 this year.

The single-family homes in North Kohala saw the only increase, rising 0.69%, from $864,000 in 2018 to $870,000 this year.
Analysis: As we progress through 2019, both the monthly and year-to-date sales volumes have declined over the 2018 numbers. The price appreciation is also stagnant in most markets.

The Kohala Coast is a majestic area located on the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. The Big Island received its name as to differentiate it between the State of Hawaii and the Island of Hawaii. The Kohala Coast is split into two areas, North Kohala and South Kohala, with North Kohala covering the more rural northern end of the island, containing the small towns of Hawi, Kapa’au, and the Kohala Ranch communities.
South Kohala covers the major, world class resorts of Mauna Kea Resort, Mauna Lani Resort and Waikoloa Beach Resort, the small town of Waikoloa Village, located 6 miles inland from the resorts and Waimea, the beautiful town in the interior Waimea Valley. You can find market updates for many of these areas by visiting the Market Update Page on my website.

The number of single-family homes sold in June 2019 in Kohala decreased considerably over the impressive sales volume of June 2018, with 22 homes selling in June of this year, down from 38 homes selling in June 2018. That large decrease in sales volume was felt in both parts of Kohala, but more so in South Kohala. North Kohala saw 7 homes sold in June 2019, down slightly from the 9 homes sold in June 2018, but South Kohala fell substantially from 29 homes sold in June 2018 to 17 homes this June. The number of condos sold in June 2019 also fell year over year, with 24 units being sold this June, down slightly from 28 units in June 2018.
This substantial drop in sales volume for June helped to contribute to the drop in the year-to-date sales volume in 2019, which is well off the 2018 numbers. There have been 157 single-family homes sold so far this year, a big drop from the 183 homes that sold by this time in 2018. Both parts of Kohala have felt this year-to-date volume decrease, with North Kohala seeing 31 homes sold in 2019, down from the 42 homes sold in 2018. In South Kohala the sales volume has decreased by 15 homes, with 126 homes selling this year, down from the 141 homes sold last year, and the number of condos sold year-to-date also saw a small decrease, with 169 units selling this year, down from 171 units sold in 2018.
Along with the drop in sales volume of single-family homes in June 2019 over June 2018 in Kohala, the fall in median sales price also happened in most markets. The median sale price in the South Kohala and condo markets both fell, with South Kohala falling from $557,000 in June 2018 to $540,000 in June of this year, while the condo market fell from $650,000 in June 2018 to $478,750 in June of this year. The only market to see an increase in the median sales price was North Kohala, where the median sales price in June 2019 increased to $691,945 from $657,750 in June 2018.
As with the decrease in the monthly median sales price for homes in Kohala, all the markets year-to-date median sales price numbers reflected their monthly numbers. The median year-to-date sales price in North Kohala saw the only increase, rising 24%, from $825,000 in 2018 to $1,023,000 this year; this kind of dramatic change can sometimes be expected when you have an area with such a low sales volume. Meanwhile, South Kohala experienced a less dramatic change, with its median sales price decreasing a mere 1.17% from $600,000 in 2018 to $593,000 this year, while the condo market had a similar decrease, falling 1.71%, from $525,000 in 2018 to $516,000 this year.
Analysis: Although the monthly sales volume in Kohala as been higher in some months over their 2018 counterparts, the overall year-to-date number is down quite a bit from the 2018 numbers. The same could be said for the median sales price numbers, as they were mixed from month-to-month, but down overall for the year. This may have been caused by a combination of 2017 being a really good year and a nationwide slowdown in the real estate market. The question is, how long will the slowdown continue.
