It has raised the average selling price up to $900,000 over the past 6 months from $800,000, multiple offers like never before, thanks to low interest rates. But as rates are ticking higher it will effect the number of sales downward.  Contact me anytime for the latest updates for real estate in Hawaii.   Carl@sandislehawaii.com or for quicker service 808-225-2400

While it is always better to be able to buy a home and gain equity and tax advantages , in Hawaii the average sales price for a home is $800,000 , condos are $400,000+ . Qualifying keeps most people from being able to buy here so most young people starting out have to rent . It's a crazy cycle of events because the longer they wait the higher the interest rates creep up.Finding a great mortgage person is the best place to start .

All commissions pertaining to real estate are negotiable , very few companies in Hawaii charge 6% , 5% seems to be the norm. That being said if you want to see agents breaking down your door to show your property, offer 4% to the buyers broker and see what happens.All those flat fee companies...

All commission is negotiable . but if you are only worried about commission you might be in the wrong business. If you take good care of your client the commissions will take care of themselves.
