MILLION DOLLAR HOMES SET RECORD SALES

The number of luxury real estate market sales on Oahu hit record highs in 2014. A total of 842 single-family homes and condominiums sold over $1 million, an increase of 15.7 percent compared to 2013. The previous peak for this segment of the market was in 2005 when 794 single family home and condominiums sold in this price range. Last year’s sales surpassed that record by 6 percent.
