Hawaii's luxury real estate market is soaring to all-time highs due to a number of factors, including the coronaviruses outbreak and record low interest rates.
In the first three quarters of this year, homes worth $3 million or more saw their sales volume increase by 234.5% compared with the same period in 2020. The volume of deals hit a new high. The sales of homes priced over $10 million have gone up even more than before.
Matt Beall, CEO of Hawaii Life Real Estate, said it was like a rocket ship. It is an incredible event for the market.
The vast majority of high-end transactions his firm has brokered are being purchased in all-cash deals, as Beall said he has never seen a faster moving market.

There were people showing up, and they were like, "Okay, I'm going to offer on this house sight unseen." The closing is going to be for two weeks. I will have a 13-day due diligence, I will fly in on the 12th day, meet with all the inspectors, and move in on the 14th day.
The pace has been quick with some $20 million deals closing within 30 days.
The pace caught both the profession and the sellers off guard. He said that it was not normal.
