Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Makiki-Lower Punchbowl-Tantalus real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Inventory in Makiki-Lower Punchbowl-Tantalus has tightened, with 159 homes on the market in February 2026 and a modest 0.63% decline from the prior month, while new listings dropped 23.14% year over year to 93. With 81 pending sales but fewer fresh options, buyers are seeing less choice and sellers face less competition from neighboring homes.
Pricing has been firm in response to this setup, as the typical home value reached about $400,000, up 22.7% compared with a year earlier, while the median list price sits slightly lower at $385,000 and has inched down 0.52% month over month. Compared with Honolulu overall, where the typical home value is about $560,000 and has dipped 0.88% year over year, this neighborhood offers relatively lower prices that have been moving in the opposite direction.
Homes are taking longer to go under contract, with the median days on market at 109, up both 11.79% from last month and 4.31% from a year ago, and only about 6% of recent sales closing above list price as the average sale-to-list ratio holds near 0.97. With the market still labeled a seller’s market at a gauge reading of 20 and March projections showing values holding near $400,000 with inventory around 158, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Patrice was always available by text even though we tried not to make too many enquiries over the weekends . She gave us honest feedback from realtors showing our acreage property, knowing some things we could control and some things we could not. She seemed to have good working relationships with realtors from other companies which was a great asset.”
“Jen sold our house in a matter of a few hours of being listed. She is absolutely wonderful and made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.”
“Kathy and Sue have been amazing. From selling my home to the endless searching for a new one. They have supported our family through the entire process. Staging, repairs, contractors, sales, support and continually being available within minutes each time I called are only a few things that I valued about them representing us through this process. Thank you both for your professionalism and strong representation.”
“I had an excellent experience working with Abe Safa from CENTURY 21 The Harrelson Group. From start to finish the process was smooth, professional, and completely stress-free. Abe did an outstanding job marketing my home in Myrtle Beach. The property sold very quickly and at a great price, which exceeded my expectations. Throughout the process he was responsive, knowledgeable about the local market, and handled every detail efficiently. What I appreciated most was how easy he made the entire transaction. There were no hassles, no surprises, and everything moved forward exactly as promised. If you are buying or selling property in the Myrtle Beach area, I would highly recommend Abe Safa. He is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.”
“Lena Lawing made us feel very comfortable right from the beginning. Lena asked what out goal was and what was the most important thing she could help us with. She made sure the home should be cleared from house clutter and and made the rooms viewer friendly. She let us know what was going on in our neighborhood & pricing as well other homes in the area. Answering our calls & always returning them. Thank you for sticking with us!!! The "Crazy Highsmiths"”
“Jenn did an excellent job with selling our home. Her pictures were exceptional. We would highly recommend her to anyone listing or buying a property.”
“Background: I had owned this property for 18 years as a rental property before deciding to put it for sale. The previous realtor handling the sale could not get the property to move at all, with zero offers produced in 18 months. Once I enlisted Lisa as the agent to sell this property, things kicked into high gear. We first needed the previous listing to expire, so the new listing could appear fresh. Lisa did an amazing job marketing the property in a very tough and competitive market (with multiple brand new homes for sale in the same area), working with local contractors in order to do necessary repairs and cleanup. She quickly landed four offers, and from there we managed to close the deal in a few weeks. Quite simply, without Lisa's help and tremendous dedication, this property would still be sitting on the market today. I would recommend Lisa to anyone wanted to handle any type of real estate transaction in this market area.”
“Matthew is extremely knowledgeable and professional in every way. He is always available and quick to answer my phone calls and can resolve any issue that occurs. If you are selling or buying and want a stress free experience Iwould recommend Matthew.”
“We absolutely adore Dunja. I'm the first to admit that I was skeptical of all things realtor before we started, but I liked Dunja a lot by the end of our first day touring properties, and trusted her immensely by the end of the process. She understood our preferences very well and was able to offer perfect long-distance feedback on properties we were unable to see ourselves. Our house is a dream, and Dunja's patience and hard work was instrumental in how quickly the process of buying was. She's the best!!”
“Kazy was patient with me, I was being very selective in choosing a potential property. The process lasted well over a year. He never pressured me into anything I didn't want, and was quickly supportive whenever I had a question or wanted to look at a property. When the right place came up he was quick to act, and his negotiating tactics were pivotal in ensuring that I got the house, despite there being a bidding war on the property. Beyond his business expertise, he's a good person and someone I eagerly recommend to anyone else looking for a place.”
“Working with Alexandria Boone has been an pleasant experience from start to finish. She was professional, remarkably helpful and attentive to our needs, checking in often enough to keep us informed but never to the point of feeling overwhelmed. Her patience was unmatched; it took us over two years to find the right property, and not once did she make us feel rushed or pressured. Alexandria is personable, easy to talk to, and listens. She guided us through every step, even sending thoughtful reminders to ensure we were fully prepared for closing. We are grateful for the care and dedication she brought to our home‑buying journey.”
“I can’t say enough about the incredible experience I had with Braden. From day one, they truly listened—not just to what I wanted in a home, but to what I needed for this next chapter of my life. Every showing, every late-night question, every moment of stress… they showed up with patience, honesty, and unwavering support. They advocated for me, fought for the best possible outcome, and even made the selfless decision to take a cut in their own pay just to ensure I could get the home I had been searching for. That’s not just professionalism—that’s integrity, compassion, and dedication on a whole different level. Because of them, I’m not just moving into a house—I’m stepping into a dream that once felt out of reach. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, who will treat your journey like it’s their own, and who genuinely cares about your future, I cannot recommend Braden enough.”
“We met Dylan when we scheduled our first tour looking for a new home in the Conway, SC area. We were fortunate that Dylan was the agent that we met, he was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable of the area. We also wanted to sell and he was willing to list our home with McAlpine. My wife and I a lot of questions about selling our home and if Dylan didn't have an answer at the time, he got back with us shortly. His knowledge and insight of the local realty selling market was greatly beneficial for us! We would definitely recommend Dylan to anyone planning to sell their house in Horry County.”
“Lawrence Lanni was extremely well versed in the market. He made the selling & buying process very simple & stress free for us. He went above & beyond with communication. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.”
“I seldom write reviews unless service is exceptional. And in working with Barbara Laib, I can say with 100% certainty that she will be our life long agent for future purchases. My wife and I were first time home buyers and knew next to nothing about the process. Barbara was there during the search, offer, signing, and even helped us post signing to make sure we had smaller things like utilities taken care of. If you are a first time home buyer, look no further. Barbara will help you get everything squared away. From answering our questions (of which we had many) in a prompt and easy to understand manner, to late night communication to make sure we had all of our ducks in a row. You will not be dissapointed! If you are an experienced home buyer, Barbara has plenty to offer you as well. A keen eye for details, and decades of tribal knowledge in the real estate space, all with the same prompt communication and outstanding availability! Thank you so much Barbara!”
“Carla is a fantastic agent. She went above and beyond to find us our perfect home, and her deep expertise of the market made all the difference. We could not be more happy with how it turned out.”
“Laurie went above and beyond for my family and I. No question went unanswered and you could really tell that she cares about her clients and getting them the best deal she possibly can! If your looking for a realtor that doesn't act like a used car salesperson then Laurie is the one to go with”
“Amy and Brian are professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I've bought and sold real estate thru them several times and will continue going forward. I trust them completely and they are a pleasure to work with”
“Mrs. Rodriguez-Dunn made the buying process easier as she communicated, shared her expertise, and guided the entire process.”
“Jennifer Hudson was an absolute dream to work with. I have nothing negative to say about our experience with Jennifer. Our search included some unusual requirements, so we looked at a lot of houses. Jennifer was responsive and helpful every time we called. She provided complete and accurate information about all of the homes we found as well as searching out homes she felt could meet our needs. Since we were out of state, she took the time to walk through homes using facetime so we could be more effective in narrowing down the selection we needed to walk through personally. It was a long process for us to make a final decision, and she was with us all the way through the process for initial interest to final closing. She even stayed in touch after to ensure everything went well.”
