Honolulu
It’s a city sought-after simply for its beautiful scenery. The amazing water and perfect beaches call out to tourists and make a great location for vacation rental properties and real estate investing.
While the Honolulu housing market is one of the most expensive in the U.S., homes appreciation levels are high and in the past few years, appreciation levels reached a point in which the Honolulu market was able to go back to the home prices they were at before the recession.
Luxury condominiums are becoming prominent in Honolulu, especially in Waikiki, a top tourist location. These condominiums have also contributed to the rising home prices.
Supply and demand in the Honolulu real estate market are both supported by the job sector which is equally as strong. This means the job sector is becoming parallel with rising home prices. Taking this into consideration along with low interest rates is encouraging for buyers to continue their activity in the real estate market.
Investment properties are performing very well, specifically buy-and-hold properties. The average rent for an apartment within 10 miles of Honolulu is approximately $2,800/month. Although appreciation levels are below the national average, they have significantly increased in the past few years which is a bonus for real estate investments.
