What's an MLS?
MLS is an abbreviation for "Multiple Listing Service." These are the services that provide listing information to realtors and their customers throughout the country. Each region has its own MLS system. In Hawaii, the largest MLS system is operated by the Honolulu Board of Realtors. Listings are primarily for the island of Oahu. They also have listings for Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. As a member of the Honolulu Board of Realtors, Mike Bates is able to present the listings on this website for public access.

During July, sales of 268 single-family homes and 320 condominiums were reported through the Board’s MLS, an increase of 0.8 percent and decrease of 6.7 percent, respectively, from July 2009. The median price paid for island properties in the July was $605,000 for single-family homes and $299,000 for condominiums, an increase of 1.7 percent for single-family homes and a decrease of 2.7 percent for condos, compared to the same month last year. According to the Days on Market indicator, sales also closed faster in July with single-family homes listing for 39 days, down from 45 days, and condominiums down to 36 days from 56.
“Oahu’s post-tax credit sales landscape is quieter, as are other markets, but we seem to be weathering better than our Mainland counterparts,” commented said Brian Benton, President of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. “Unlike most cities, Honolulu saw its pending sales in July increase over a year ago.”
