A report from Hawaii News Now. "The median sales price for a single-family home on Oahu dropped again in January for a fourth consecutive month thanks to more inventory, new statistics from the Honolulu Board of Realtors show. 'We started 2019 with very healthy increases in new listings for both single-family homes and condominiums, adding to the inventory available to potential buyers,' said Jenny L. Brady, president of the Honolulu Board of Realtors."

From KHON 2 on Hawaii. "According to the Honolulu Board of Realtors, new listings of single family homes increased by 21.8% while condominium listings increased by 18.8%. But sales for single family homes were down 2.4% and prices were down slightly to $767,000. Condo sales also dropped by 12.8% and the median price dropped to $399,000."

The Denver Business Journal on Colorado. "The number of listings in metro Denver's January 2019 housing market was up 52 percent compared to January 2018, according to the latest Denver Metro Association of Realtors report. Jill Schafer, chair of the DMAR market trends committee, said that buyers should be doing a 'happy dance' because they finally have choices."

"'Even though the Denver metro area is still a seller’s market in most price ranges, there’s no doubt this is the best time to buy in a long time,' she said."

The Real Deal on New York. "Westchester developer Michael D’Alessio, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges in November, sold multiple development projects at bankruptcy auctions over the last few months, court records show."

"Among them are two boutique Manhattan condominium buildings on the Upper East Side. A development at 227 East 67th Street, where D’Alessio’s Michael Paul Enterprises and its broker originally planned to sell five units for $28.5 million, sold for $15 million at auction. And 184 East 64th Street, where D’Alessio put five apartments up for sale totaling $42.5 million, sold for $17.5 million to an anonymous LLC, records show."

From Curbed Hamptons in New York. "Located in North Haven on almost a full acre of waterfront land, the shingled home of late fashion icon China Machado has just seen another cut in asking price. Originally listed for $9.8 million when it came on the market nearly a year ago, the former model’s unique and artistic house is now available for $7.85 million."

From Fox 59 on Indiana. "A new study from Ball State University is shedding some light on the housing market in Indiana. Building a new home carries quite the cost, and in some counties, the cost is more than the value."

"'In most places in Indiana, in about two thirds of the counties, it’s not profitable to build a new home,' said Michael J. Hicks, Director of the Ball State Center for Business and Economic Research. 'If you look around the state, you’ll realize we have 300,000 excess homes that are unoccupied,' Hicks said. 'That’s enough to house one in three Hoosiers.'"

"'Hamilton County is probably among the best places for new home construction in America right now,' Hicks said. 'I would say it leans a little bit more towards a seller’s market,' Hicks said. 'But we’re seeing a little bit more inventory coming on the market right now.'"

"As the state looks to address the issue of affordable housing, Hicks hopes his study will show the issue starts with supply and demand. In order for homes to be built, developers need a reason to build them. 'I think most Hoosier policymakers need to understand we don’t just have one problem,' Hicks said. “If builders don’t find it profitable, then there’s some more fundamental problem in that community, and just throwing tax dollars at it is not a good way to solve that problem.'"
