Hilo, Hawaii – November Report – Residential Market looks to be steady?

In looking at the Hilo Market over the past 8 months, it appears for the time being that we can say April 2009 was the bottom of the Hilo Residential Market in terms of Median Home Price.

Below is a chart of Zillow’s Home Value Index for 96720. The chart is also confirmed by MLS data provided by Hawaii Information.

Per Hawaii Information: South Hilo Median home pricing was at its lowest in April which posted a Monthly Median Home Price (on sales) of $202,000 this brought the Year-To-Date (YTD) Median Home price to $247,000.

Since April the following Median Prices were posted:

May 2009 – $262,500 YTD – $250,000
June 2009 – $280,000 YTD – $256,250
July 2009 – $260,000 YTD – $257,700
Aug. 2009 – $320,000 YTD – $263,750
Sept. 2009 – $288,000 YTD – $270,000
Oct. 2009 – $285,000 YTD – $277,000

In last month’s 3rd Quarter market report, I said that “overall median home prices have continued to fall”, that would need to be tempered a bit, by the above reflective data. The jump of roughly $19,300 in median price over the past 3 months is significant when looking at Median Pricing over the whole of 2009. When compared to a Median Price rise of only $10,700 over the previous 3 months (May-July) the increase is significant.

I still agree that the main concerns for Hawaii County are that of job loss and loss of income to the general workforce. While not illustrated in the past 6 months data for South Hilo, this should be taken into account when evaluating the residential marketplace.

The Federal Government’s continued focus on tax credits should have a continued positive effect on market activity, as should the current low interest rates on home mortgages.

Density is necessary but not sufficient for walkable, transit-friendly urban(e) communities…without adequate baseline densities, communities can wind up building a lot of sidewalks that hardly anybody walks on. – Nathan Landau
