July 2026 figures for the Kapahulu – Diamond Head reporting area, covering Kapahulu, Kaimukī, Pālolo and nearby town neighborhoods as well as Diamond Head. Source: Honolulu Board of REALTORS®, compiled from MLS data.
Diamond Head contains several different products in a very small area: older apartments along the Gold Coast, condos near Paki and Monsarrat, and single-family homes climbing the slopes around the crater. The exact block and view matter more here than a broad neighborhood average.
Inventory is thin enough that a clean comparable set can be difficult. The market table below uses the broader Kapahulu–Diamond Head reporting area, so treat it as context for pace and direction rather than a valuation of a Diamond Head property.
Due diligence changes by property type. In an older building, confirm tenure, reserves, insurance, maintenance fees and pending assessments. For a house, look closely at permits, retaining walls, drainage, termites and the condition of older systems.
The numbers
What Diamond Head actually did in July 2026
Single-family homes and condos move on different clocks, so they are reported separately. A dash means the report recorded no closed sales that month — not a figure we are missing. And read the closed-sales row before you read any percentage above it: in a month with only a handful of sales, a change of several hundred percent is arithmetic rather than a trend, which is what the year-to-date rows are there to settle.
