Waipahu homes are built on lands that were once sugar plantations, a transformation that began in the late 1950s as the agricultural economy declined and the area evolved into the residential communities we know today.
Waipahu includes multiple neighborhoods, such as Waikele, and one of its enduring attractions is its relatively more affordable housing options, all within reasonable commuting distance to downtown Honolulu. The older, moderately priced homes are generally located south of H‑1, where the town’s first communities were developed in the 1960s and 70s.
Over the years, new development has broadened the variety of homes, creating options for nearly every buyer. For example, the Royal Kunia neighborhood, north of H‑1, features larger, upscale homes with multiple bedrooms. Harbor View offers another appealing choice, with some residences enjoying views of both Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head.
Waipahu remains an excellent option for buyers seeking affordability, but its appeal now extends to those looking for a wider range of home styles, sizes, and locations.

We exclude Leasehold data from this market analysis because Leasehold properties do not compare with regular Fee Simple properties.
We use median instead of the average because it depicts more accurately a central tendency to the sample size. Example: Take 5 numbers - 3, 5, 7, 9, 21. The median is 7 (the middle number) and the average is 9 (sum of all divided by 5).
We count days on market from listing date through closing date.
