The number of South Kohala condos sold year over year in April experienced the biggest drop, falling from 40 units last year to just 10 units this April.
The year-to-date sales volume in the Kohala single-family home markets still remained positive in 2020, despite the April drop-off, with 121 single-family homes being sold this year in Kohala, up from 94 homes sold by this time in 2019. The sales volume of single-family homes in North Kohala increased slightly, from 17 homes sold in 2019, to 20 homes this year.

The number of condos sold year-to-date did not enjoy the same increase, with 89 units sold this year, down from 116 units sold in 2019.
While the volume of single-family homes sold in April 2020 was down compared to April 2019 in all market segments of Kohala, the change in median sales price was in the other direction. The median sale price in South Kohala had a noticeable increase, from $650,000 in April 2019 to $722,500 in April this year, while in North Kohala, the median sales price in April 2020 rose to $763,500 from $649,000 in April 2019. The condo market also saw their median price rise, increasing from $538,000 last year to $614,000 in April 2020.

The single-family home market in South Kohala saw a less dramatic decrease, from $628,000 in 2019 to $590,000 this year, a change of 5.98%. The condo market saw a surprising change in the other direction, with the year-to-date median sales price rising an amazing 21.53%, from $518,000 in 2019 to $629,500 this year.
Analysis: Even though the monthly numbers were down, a strong first quarter was able to keep the year-to-date numbers positive. It remains to be seen how the economic headwinds of the pandemic will affect the market in the months to come.

Although there was an increase in sales volume in all market segments of Kohala in March 2020, the median sales price was more of a mixed bag. The median sale price in North Kohala and the condo market in South Kohala both experienced huge increases, with North Kohala rising an astounding $263,750, from $1,040,000 in March 2019 to $1,303,750 in March this year.

Meanwhile, North Kohala saw a slight change in the other direction for its year-to-date median sales price, increasing 3.70% from $810,000 in 2019 to $840,000 this year.
Analysis: The sales volume in Kohala for the first three month of 2020 was ahead of the 2019 numbers in all market segments. And after a year of stagnant sale prices in all segments, there were glimpses of price appreciation in some markets in the first quarter. It remains to be seen whether these positive changes will be able to withstand the economic upheaval coming in the months ahead.
