Inventory Snapshot
The Hawaii multifamily market remains dynamic, with 57 properties (5+ units) currently listed, representing approximately $214 million in total consideration. It’s also worth noting that a number of properties were cancelled or temporarily placed on hold during the holiday period, as owners take time to reevaluate pricing, timing, and overall strategy heading into 2026. Of the properties on the market, the median price per unit is $310K, with a median cap rate of 4.5%, while average days on market stands at 201 days, reflecting a roughly 6–7 month sales cycle for available assets.

Investor demand continues to hold steady, with 10 multifamily properties currently under contract, representing $28.8 million in pending sales volume. This level of activity reinforces that well-positioned, realistically priced assets continue to attract committed buyers, and underscores the importance for owners considering a 2026 sale to begin evaluating value, market positioning, and exit options early, while buyer demand remains selective but present.

Owner’s Corner: 2026 Multifamily Outlook – Risks & Opportunities
While higher operating costs and selective investor demand continue to pressure values in 2026, strategic opportunities remain for well-positioned multifamily owners. Assets with strong in-place cash flow, clean financials, and light value-add potential are attracting the most attention. Owners are finding opportunities through rent optimization, controlling expenses, modest unit upgrades, and tax-efficient exit strategies such as 1031 exchanges and DSTs. With pricing now driven by actual performance not projections, this is an ideal time to understand where your property sits in today’s market and what strategic levers can enhance value.
