Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Hilo has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up more than 16% year over year and sitting at 190 homes. New listings and pending sales have also risen compared with last year, indicating more owners are testing the market while buyers are still writing offers. With 5.8 months of supply, available inventory is markedly higher than a year ago, yet conditions still lean toward sellers based on the market gauge.
Contract activity has picked up, as homes sold increased about 6% year over year while pending sales posted an even stronger gain of just over 8%. At the same time, buyers are taking longer to commit, with the median days on market stretching to 144 days and climbing sharply compared with a year earlier.
Pricing is adjusting to this balance of more choices and steady demand. The typical home value is essentially flat year over year, while the median list price has climbed about 15%, showing that sellers are initially listing higher even as final sale prices level off. Fewer properties are commanding aggressive premiums, with the share sold above list down to about 11% and the average sale-to-list ratio dipping to roughly 96%. In a market where conditions are shifting and signals can feel mixed, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent.
Learn more about what Hilo has to offer.
Hilo offers residents a close-knit community, rich local culture, and year‑round access to lush landscapes, beaches, and a wide range of outdoor adventures that support an active, relaxed lifestyle.
Hilo immediately feels different from nearby resort areas, with everyday life centered on local traditions, rain-soaked greenery, and a genuine sense of community. The historic downtown waterfront features classic storefronts, galleries, and eateries, while neighborhoods stretch mauka and makai with a mix of plantation-era homes and newer builds. Locals gather at the Hilo Farmers Market for fresh produce, crafts, and conversation, reflecting a lifestyle that is both practical and deeply rooted.
Outdoor life is a major draw. Families frequent Liliʻuokalani Gardens and nearby Coconut Island for picnics and tidepools, while surfers and paddlers head to Hilo Bayfront. Cultural life thrives at the Imiloa Astronomy Center and the Lyman Museum, and the Hilo Public Library anchors educational and community events. Residents appreciate easy access to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the cooler climates of the uplands near Waimea.
Hilo’s housing mix, from in-town cottages to larger lots in surrounding areas, requires local insight into microclimates, older construction, and evolving zoning. Whether you are planning your first purchase or considering selling a long-held family home, timing and preparation are essential in this unique market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a Hilo real estate agent who understands the community and can guide both buyers and sellers through each step with confidence.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Katelyn came recommended by another agent. She was very knowledgeable and patient. We had a some-what complicated deal that had some hiccups but she remained available and professional though all the delays.”

“Landen was extremely helpful since I had had no previous experience in selling a house. He was good at letting me know what was going on and what the next step could or should be. He helped me tremendously with some unexpected repairs and setbacks. He wasn't outstanding Agent for me and I would gladly recommend him to anyone.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Amy Mosley. Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful process, but she made everything feel much easier with her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. What stood out most was how she managed the necessary preparations to get the place in the best salable condition. Being out of state I was so impressed with her commitment to direct the necessary upgrades, which ended up to be a huge job. She listened to my needs, kept me informed, and made sure I felt comfortable with each decision along the way. Her expertise and dedication went far beyond simply selling a property, she strives to maximize the property market potential, and that proved to be true. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for an highly experienced and professional real estate agent who genuinely cares about her clients and delivers exceptional results.”
Coldwell Banker Realty
“We hired Joe and Taylor after speaking with almost a dozen realtors, as it was clear from the first call that they are thorough and commited to excellence. We had a lot to learn as first time home buyers who are new to the region, and Joe carefully walked us through every step and detail of the process. Joe and Taylor both spent late nights crafting offers and providing advice to make sure we got a great deal on a house. They are also excellent advocates and negotiators on behalf of their clients, always ensuring the buyer is fully informed and taken care of . We would strongly reccomend anyone looking for a house in Hampton to start with a call to Joe.”
Fathom Realty
“I worked with Lauren to buy my house in 2021. She was everything I could have asked for in an agent, she was patient and professional for all the showings and when I found the house I wanted she helped me negotiate a great deal that I was very happy with. The house was for sale by owner and Lauren stepped up and made sure that all the deadlines were hit on both ends of the deal. Fast forward to 2026, I had moved for work and was ready to sell my house, I did not hesitate to call Lauren to help me with the process. She had great contacts for staging, photography and cleaning services, and we got the house listed quickly. She helped me set a price that I was very satisfied with, and we accepted a strong offer in less than a week. I would not hesitate to recommend Lauren for buying or selling your house, she is professional, well connected, and knows the utah real estate market well!”

Keller Williams Realty
“I can't say enough about our experience in purchasing a home with Carrie by our side! It seemed more like a friend we've had for a very long time assisting us along the way than a hired Real Estate Agent. Her knowledge, experience, quick reaction to anything that may pop up in a home purchase was beyond what I would have imagined. We had dealt with two prior realtors and I felt no common connection, just a person trying to make a sale. Every connection she has at her reach is extremely expedient, knowledgeable, and professional. It was a bit saddening when we closed because we knew our short encounter had come to its end. We were able to close 6 days early and she was quick to facilitate with ease. I've made contact requesting various information of our new purchase and assistance with various contractors, she was as quick to respond with positive out outcome as she was when she was seeking our business. Thank you so very much Carrie!! I will appreciate our encounter for ever!”
