Compared with a year ago, inventory in Big Island has risen, with active listings more than doubling on a percentage basis even though only two homes were on the market in the latest three-month window. A year earlier, the same rolling period around June 2025 showed three active listings, so supply has stayed very limited despite those percentage changes. Over the past few years, typical sale prices have moved around quite a bit, from about $50,000 at the end of 2022 to $240,000 by mid-2024.
Looking at the most recent rolling three-month period ending in June 2026, conditions lean toward sellers, with the market gauge at 30, labeled a seller’s market. Activity has been thin lately, and this low number of listings can make each new property stand out and draw attention from buyers.
Historical data shows how quickly dynamics can shift in a small market like Big Island. Months of supply has ranged from a tight 1.5 months in early 2023 to over 9 months in some later quarters, highlighting that bargaining power can swing back and forth between buyers and sellers. Days on market have also varied widely, from as few as 14 days in late 2023 to nearly six months in mid-2023, so timing and pricing strategy matter. With these changing patterns and limited inventory, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands the local numbers and trends.
