In Kapalama, only 6 homes were on the market in February 2026, the same inventory level as a year ago despite a 25.0% drop from the prior month. Buyers had just 2 new listings to choose from, which is 60.0% fewer than a year earlier. Even with tight supply, 7 homes went under contract, up 16.67% year over year, reinforcing the strong pace of contract activity.
Pricing is responding to this mix of low inventory and solid demand in different ways. The typical home value stands at $1,077,500, which is slightly down 0.69% from last year and 0.23% from the prior month, even though it remains well above the Honolulu citywide typical value of $560,000.
List prices show more volatility, with the median list price at $684,000 in February and projected to shift to $531,000 in March, while the projected typical home value edges to $1,076,250 and projected inventory dips to 5. Homes spent a median of 68.5 days on the market, up 20.18% month over month but still 20.81% faster than a year ago, and roughly 41.67% of recent sales closed above list price with an average sale-to-list ratio of 1.0189. With Kapalama scoring a 9 on the seller’s market gauge, both buyers and sellers can benefit from having a skilled local agent, and Agent Pronto can help connect them with the right one.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
