July 2026 figures for the North Shore reporting area. Source: Honolulu Board of REALTORS®, compiled from MLS data.
Inventory from Haleʻiwa through Sunset is thin and stays thin. Owners hold for decades, and a season can pass with only a handful of meaningful listings across the whole stretch.
Come prepared on two fronts: many properties here have well or cesspool considerations, and the winter surf that makes the coast famous also shapes insurance and erosion questions on anything near the sand.

The numbers
Market activity in North Shore: 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.
