Locals Are Hawai‘i’s No. 1 Homebuyers, But … - Hawaii Business Magazine Three-quarters of all single-family homes and condos sold last year were purchased by local residents, but that proportion was down – as was the proportion of dollars spent.

Below is a great article from Hawai’i Business Magazine today on rising interest rates and the ramifications for local buyers (and subsequently, sellers). Feel free to contact us to discuss:

Rising Interest Rates Affect Which Homes Local Buyers Bid On - Hawaii Business Magazine Though mortgage rates remain low by historical standards, every tiny increase means that families qualify for smaller and smaller loans.
