A Strong Year for Oahu Luxury Real Estate
As 2026 begins, it’s clear that Oahu luxury real estate remained resilient and competitive throughout 2025. To even qualify for the top 10 list this year, a home needed to sell for more than $8 million, a threshold that highlights continued demand for premier properties across the island.
Notably, half of the top sales occurred in Diamond Head and Kahala, while the remaining sales were split between Windward Oahu, including Kailua's Beachside and Lanikai, and one standout sale on the North Shore.
