COLDWELL BANKER REALTY AND ANDY LANDGRAF AT 360 PRODUCTIONS. This 5,020-square-foot, six-bedroom, three-full and two-half bath home at 1821 Kumakani Place recently sold for $3.08 million.

Luxury home sales on Oahu continued to grow year-over-year, albeit at a slower rate than in recent months, according to a new luxury market report from Coldwell Banker Realty.

There were 58 homes sold for $2 million or more in May compared to 54 sold in the same month last year, a modest increase of 7%. By the same measurement, luxury sales have increased by double digits every other month this year.

According to the report, figures for which are based on MLS data of single-family homes and condominiums sold for $2 million and higher in May 2021 and 2022, single-family home sales above that threshold declined 2% year-over-year, from 44 in May 2021 to 42.

Although the number of homes sold in the $3 million to $3.99 million price range increased 83% — 11 compared to six — the report noted that the overall single-family home market was affected by a 19% decline in sales in the $2 million to $2.99 million range — 25 compared to 31.

According to the report, the decline within that price range is largely attributed to low inventory levels.

In the higher price ranges year-over-year, the number of homes sold that were priced between $4 million and $5.99 million declined 60%, from five to two, while those in the $6 million to $9.99 million range increased 50%, from two to three.

Two homes priced at more than $10 million were sold last month. None were sold in that price range the prior May.

Luxury condominium sales, however, increased 50% May-over-May, with 15 sold last month and 10 sold in May 2021.

The number of condos sold between $2 million and $2.99 million increased from five to seven, or 40%, while those in the $4 million-plus range climbed from two to five, or 150%, the report noted.

Additionally, 32 of the 58 luxury homes sold were priced between $2 million and $2.99 million, 14 were priced from $3 million to $3.99 million and 12 were priced above $4 million.

Additionally, escrow activity dropped 44% compared to last year, the report noted.

“The lull in escrow activity for both single-family homes and condominiums priced at $2 million and higher reflect the same lull across the board in all price points. Rising home prices and interest rates are impacting affordability,” Patti Nakagawa, Global Luxury director for Coldwell Banker Realty said in a statement. “Having said that, there’s still strong buyer demand and buyers are waiting for new listings to come on the market.”

The Kakaako, Ala Moana and Kahala neighborhoods had the most luxury home sales in May with six, five and four, respectively, according to the report, and the most expensive home sold in May was a five-bedroom, six full- and one half-bath single-family home that sold for nearly $18.12 million.
