Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Ala Wai real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Month to month, Ala Wai is seeing some notable shifts, with the typical home value rising 6.89% in March 2026 to about $349,000 even as the median list price edged down 1.25% to $395,000. Inventory also tightened slightly, slipping 4.76% from the prior month to 40 active listings. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market climbing 11.83% to roughly 94.5 days, hinting at a slower pace for accepted offers. Looking ahead to April 2026, typical values are projected to move up again to about $360,250, while inventory is expected to ease just a bit to 39 homes.
From a year-over-year view, trends show a cooler but still seller-leaning environment. Typical home values in Ala Wai are up 3.25% compared with last year, while Honolulu overall has seen a stronger 11.01% gain to about $605,000. At the same time, inventory in Ala Wai is down 16.67% year over year, and new listings have fallen 30.77%, limiting options for buyers.
Buyer activity has slowed more sharply, with pending sales down 48.39% versus last year and no recent sales closing above list price. The average sale-to-list ratio sits near 0.956, suggesting buyers often negotiate modest discounts off asking prices. Overall, Ala Wai is still categorized as a Seller's Market with a market gauge of 25, but conditions feel more balanced than peak periods. In this kind of shifting landscape, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these local dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Ala Wai offers residents a vibrant, walkable community with easy access to parks, the beach, and everyday amenities, all wrapped in a friendly, active neighborhood vibe.
Ala Wai tends to work best for buyers who want condo living with easy access to both Waikiki energy and quieter residential pockets. The neighborhood lines the Ala Wai Canal, giving many buildings open views toward Waikiki, Ala Moana, and the Koʻolau mountains, which appeals to downsizers, second‑home owners, and investors looking for strong rental potential.
Daily life revolves around convenience. Joggers and paddlers frequent the Ala Wai Canal Promenade, while golfers enjoy the adjacent Ala Wai Golf Course. Waikiki Beach, Kapiolani Park, and shops at Ala Moana are only a short drive or bike ride away. Dining options range from casual spots along Kapahulu Avenue to resort restaurants in nearby hotels.
Housing is dominated by high‑rise and mid‑rise condos, from older fee simple units to leasehold investments, plus a few walk‑ups closer to McCully. This mix can work for first‑time buyers watching their budget, owners seeking a lock‑and‑leave lifestyle, or sellers looking to capture value in a shifting market. Parking rules, short‑term rental regulations, and maintenance fees vary building by building, so local insight is critical.
The right Ala Wai agent understands everything from canal flood mitigation to which towers have stronger trade winds or sunset views. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a professional who knows these neighborhood‑level details and can guide each decision with confidence.

“Michelle worked with me patiently through many viewings and anticipated my preferences. She helped me by accommodating my schedule and was understanding with occasional discouragement. Overall a memorable experience.”
“Kimberly's attention to us and to detail was as good as her understanding of the Sonoma County real estate market. She was very patient with us, and with the market which had a real period of low activity. She was very courteous with other agents, even when it was clear they didn't have a good grasp of their responsibilities. Her advice, once we found the homes we were interested in, was solid and sensitive to market realities. She was a good listener and interpreter of our needs and desires, and perhaps as important as anything else she was an absolute pleasure to work with. We would definitely work with her again, and recommend her without reservation”
“Working with Kelli was very easy. She is very experienced and knowledgeable, she kept me updated at all times with what was going on and when I messaged her with a question she responded within minutes! I would highly recommend working with Kelli Powers for any real estate transactions!”
“Britney from Rickey team is an exceptional realtor who made the entire process smooth and stress‑free. Her communication is clear, timely, and always thoughtful. She brings deep market knowledge and genuine care to every step. Her professionalism, follow‑through, and attention to detail truly stand out. Working with her feels easy, supportive, and incredibly reliable. I highly recommend Britney to anyone seeking a dedicated, top‑tier realtor.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Tibi! As first-time homebuyers, we were unsure of the process and had plenty of questions and stress along the way. Tibi was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything clearly, always making sure we felt comfortable and informed. She supported us through every step from connecting us with lenders to coordinating inspections and handling repairs and consistently went above and beyond what we expected. She was also amazing with our toddlers, which made the whole experience even smoother for our family. We’re so grateful we chose to work with her.”
“I had the pleasure in working with Ms.Jeanie Murphy, the only way I can describe her is "heaven sent". She went above and beyond for my family making sure I was confident in my purchase. She listened to all my wants and needs and in the end I closed receiving them all. Im recommending her to my mother whose interested in buying a home”
“Tiffanie was very professional, and exceeded my expectations with the quality of work she provided. I would highly recommend.”
“As first-time homebuyers, the process felt overwhelming at first, but Heather made everything so much easier. She was honest and upfront about every house we looked at, especially whether homes would realistically work with our financing. We appreciated her helping us avoid wasting time and stress on homes that likely wouldn’t work out. When we found the house we loved, she quickly got us in to see it before the weekend rush so we had the best chance possible to make an offer. Throughout the entire process, she communicated clearly, explained every step from offer to closing, and always had our best interests in mind. Heather was positive, knowledgeable, and amazing to work with. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“Very smooth and easy transition. Highly recommend Kim. Called her next morning she was at my house got an estimate on costs and profits. Would absolutely do it again. Jimmy”
“Having had Sarah Padgett sell our home 6 years ago and help us buy our current home, it was a no brainer for us to call her to help us negotiate and purchase the home we recently found in an area that she doesn't typically cover. She was diligent and very communicative throughout the process. Her witty and outgoing personality is a bonus!”
“For the past 10 years, Jim Aklin has been our trusted realtor for both buying and selling homes, and I can confidently say I wouldn’t trust anyone else. His knowledge of the real estate industry is exceptional, and he has an incredible ability to understand any market and create the right strategy for success. Our most recent experience with Jim was selling our condo in April 2026. Even in a slower market, with multiple similar condos competing against ours, Jim’s expertise made all the difference. He provided valuable staging recommendations, priced our home correctly, and within just 30 days found a couple who purchased our condo at the price we were hoping for. What truly sets Jim apart is his personal approach. He genuinely cares about his clients and brings a level of trust, communication, and dedication that makes the entire process seamless. Hands down, the best buying and selling experiences we’ve had, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
“Bree Cox did a great job selling my home. She communicated exceptionally well, and we were always on the same page regarding our goals for the sale and our strategy for marketing the home. We were under contract in less than a week, and the process couldn’t have gone more smoothly. I would highly recommend Bree to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this market.”

He got us into a house we absolutely love, made the whole process way less stressful, and was just really great to work with. Our house even appraised for more than we bought it for, which was such a nice surprise!”
“Just a big thank you to Travis”
