Last update: 3 hours agoCondo Crunch: UHERO’s 2026 Housing Factbook flags a Hawaiʻi condo market where prices are sliding but the cost to hold a unit keeps climbing—driven by insurance repricing, HOA fee hikes, and looming flood-map changes. State condo prices fell 2% in 2025, while Maui condos dropped 11% from 2023; yet days on market are rising fast, with Maui condos averaging 100+ days. Hurricane Readiness: The state’s Insurance Division is urging residents to review coverage now, warning many standard policies don’t cover hurricane or flood damage and that flood insurance can take 30 days to kick in. Fraud Warning: Hawaii TV pioneer Linda Coble says a scam cost her nearly $60,000, as officials cite a sharp jump in fraud losses statewide. Local Aid: OHA is opening applications for Native Hawaiian families hit by the March Kona Low, offering up to $15,000 for homeowners and $7,500 for renters. Economy Watch: UHERO also warns Hawaiʻi’s outlook has darkened as higher oil prices raise costs and add uncertainty for tourism. Ethics Scrutiny: Kash Patel’s “VIP snorkel” at the USS Arizona memorial is back in the spotlight, with emails and rules around access fueling questions.
