"While the positive sales momentum in 2024 highlights a resilient market, affordability challenges remain a significant hurdle for many buyers," said Trevor Benn, President of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. "Elevated mortgage rates and rising homeownership costs, including maintenance fees and insurance, continue to shape buyer behavior and influence the dynamics of the market." |
