Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
South Hilo’s rolling three-month numbers show clear shifts from a year ago. The typical home value is down about 15 percent year over year, while median list prices are slightly higher. Inventory is also a bit higher than last year, and homes are taking a little less time to sell.
Looking at the latest rolling period ending in September 2026, buyers are seeing a typical home value around $500,000 with a median list price near $564,000. Months of supply has climbed to 7.5, a large increase from a year ago and well above the levels South Hilo saw in 2024, which points to more options and time for many shoppers.
Demand has cooled compared with last year, with homes sold and pending sales both down year over year, yet new listings are up about 9 percent, adding fresh choices to the market. Even with more supply, nearly 17 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is about 97 percent, showing sellers can still achieve strong results with the right strategy. Compared with the broader Hilo area, South Hilo shares the same months of supply but has a slightly higher typical home value, giving both move-up and value-focused buyers something to consider. Whether you are a buyer sorting through more inventory or a seller aiming to stand out, Agent Pronto can connect you with a South Hilo agent who understands these trends.
South Hilo offers residents a welcoming, community-minded atmosphere with easy access to parks and green spaces, local markets, and convenient amenities, all set in a tropical, laid-back neighborhood.
South Hilo offers a distinctly local feel compared with resort-focused parts of the island, blending everyday convenience with ocean views, cultural landmarks, and long-established neighborhoods. Residents enjoy being close to Downtown Hilo, yet South Hilo maintains a quieter, residential identity with tree-lined streets, older plantation homes, and newer subdivisions sharing the same coastline and rain-fed greenery.
Life here centers around community places like Liliʻuokalani Gardens, Coconut Island, and nearby Hilo Bayfront Beach Park. Families appreciate access to schools such as Hilo High School and Waiakea High School, along with the resources of the Hilo Public Library. Weekends often revolve around fresh produce and local food at the Hilo Farmers Market, or a short trip to the educational exhibits at Imiloa Astronomy Center.
The housing mix ranges from classic in-town properties to homes with expansive yards and ocean or mauka views. With demand shaped by local buyers, long-time residents, and off-island movers, timing and preparation are critical. Whether you are planning to buy in South Hilo or considering selling a long-held family property, connecting early with the right local real estate agent through Agent Pronto can help you navigate the market confidently and act at the right moment.
See why so many people rely on Agent Pronto to make their real estate journey a success.
“Shari was fantasic helping us with our transition to the island! She provided many options to choose from and helped us narrow properties that fit our lifestyle. She worked tiressly to fight for us and searched for the best oppurtuinties using her many years of expertise in the area. She was very professional and knowledgable throughout the entire process. We recommend Shari for any of your realstate needs!”
“Our Favorite Realtor! We have moved a lot in the past 10 years, and were lucky enough to have been able to she Jeanna twice—first to buy, then to sell! We couldn’t believe the difference in our buying/selling experience—we thought it was inevitably an awful process, but Jeanna made it so much better. She’s extremely knowledgeable about her area and is helpful, clear, kind, and gets things done. We appreciate her honesty, care and we always felt like a priority throughout the process, even though we know she’s busy! We wish we could take her with us for any future move! Highly highly recommend. You won’t regret using Jeanna.”
“Selling a house from off-island sounded like a fast track to a nervous breakdown, but then Tehani stepped in. She staged our property so beautifully that we briefly questioned why we were even selling it. Thanks to her attention to detail and pure expertise, the entire process was shockingly stress-free. We came away with all our goals met, a sold house, and our sanity completely intact. Tehani is an absolute rockstar!”
“Working with Karen has been an absolute pleasure. She is one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with. Karen has helped me and my family successfully buy and sell several properties, and every transaction has been smooth, professional, and stress-free. She is knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. Her dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process. Mahalo, Karen, for all your hard work and for always taking such great care of our family. We truly appreciate you!”
“I really enjoyed working with Jeanette. Her all around professionalism was exceptional. If I'm ever in the market for further real estate needs I will definitely be giving her a call!”
“Wow!! As a realtor with 20 years of experience, I have never experienced such great service and teamwork as I did with Seth and Lee Jenks! From start to finish, no detail was missed. Everything asked for was delivered in a very timely manner. It’s almost hard to believe the level of service that was provided, because it’s rare to find that in today’s world. If you’re looking for an investment or a forever home, do yourself a favor and call these guys! I mean, two for the price of one as a seller, or having two professionals watching out for you as a buyer—win-win! Thank you, Seth and Lee, for making this such a super easy experience. I truly appreciate your funny humor and your genuine personalities. Your knowledge and clear communication were incredibly helpful and right on point.”
“I’ve known Tom for many years as a personal friend, so when my partner and I were finally ready to buy our first home, it felt incredibly reassuring to have someone I already trusted guiding us through the process. I have always known that Tom was thoughtful, ethical, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. What surprised me was how often other real estate agents mentioned how respected Tom is in the industry. More than once, we heard unsolicited comments about his integrity and professionalism, which definitely helped during negotiations and made us even more grateful to have him on our side. Throughout the entire process, Tom was always a great listener. He never tried to steer us toward any particular direction, but always offered honest, practical advice and shared his experience. He also reminded us (many times) not to settle just because the house-hunting process can be exhausting- advice I’m very thankful for now. We looked at a lot of houses, and I sometimes felt guilty asking Tom to meet us at yet another showing. But he was endlessly patient and always encouraged us to keep looking so we could be confident in our choice. We’ve been in our home for a little over a year now, and I’m still so happy with where we landed. Tom’s patience, kindness, and confidence made the entire experience feel manageable. I truly can’t imagine a better realtor and would recommend him without hesitation every time.”
“Tyler is awesome! He was very good at responding and quickly. I must have text him a hundred times with tons of questions. He was very patient, kind and honest in his responses. He was very knowledgeable about different areas and gave me the pros and cons even if it turned me in a different direction. It was clear that he wanted us to be informed and happy with our purchase. He was extremely helpful and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to represent their interests in a real estate transaction. I will be recommending him to my friends and family.”
“We can’t say enough great things about Jerry Adamany and his team. As a military family relocating to Oahu during a PCS, we had very specific needs and a tight timeline, all complicated by the holidays—but Jerry never missed a beat. Our wishlist wasn’t easy: a single-family home (or as close as possible) with a garage, a small yard, under $1 million, and move-in ready or needing only minor repairs. In the Oahu market, that’s a tough ask. But Jerry rolled up his sleeves and got to work—showing us homes, giving honest feedback, and helping us navigate neighborhoods, potential issues, and even HOA red flags. He went above and beyond during a time most people take off—helping us view homes, write offers, and even submit one on Christmas Eve. That kind of dedication is rare. Jerry was always available, always supportive, and never made us feel rushed. In fact, he encouraged us to consider short-term rental options so we didn’t feel pressured to settle. When we finally found the one, Jerry’s guidance through the offer, negotiation, and VA assumable purchase process was flawless. He’s incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to VA loans and the unique challenges military families face, and he made sure we were confident and protected at every step. Thanks to him, we ended up with a home that checked all our boxes—and felt like a win in every sense. If you're buying or selling on Oahu—especially with military needs or a VA loan—Jerry Adamany is the realtor you want in your corner. Honest, responsive, and deeply committed to his clients. We are so thankful for him!”
“Kina and her team have been amazing! As first time buyers and being a military family, we definitely had the work cut out for us trying to find a new home. Enter Kina! She was highly recommended and she did not disappoint. She answered all our questions, had the best advice, pointed out things that we didn't even think of - it just made house buying not as daunting as we thought it would be. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Hal was a consummate real-estate agent. He answered all of my questions and more with the utmost respect and patience. He explained everything I needed to know. And made sure I was satisfied and happy with every step of the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who cares.”
“Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Best home selling experience I’ve ever had. Especially during this Pandemic, he provided up to date information.”
“I highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a home to get Elizabeth as their agent. She worked extremely hard in finding me the house of my choice. Elizabeth made my first home buying experience a less stressful one because of her honest advice on what’s a good choice for me. Anyone serious about buying a house will be happy having Elizabeth as their agent!. Thank you Elizabeth!”
“This review is long over due. Laura and her assistant Jenna where great, they where very friendly and knowledgeable. Laura went above and beyond to help us sell our condo. With the stress of being first time sellers and moving out of state, she did a awesome job handling everything. Whether you're mainland transplant or kama'aina looking to buy or sell, we highly recommend Laura for your realtor needs. Aloha.”
