Selling a Condo in Waikīkī
Waikīkī has some of the densest condo housing in Hawai’i, from 1960s walk-ups along the Ala Wai to resort towers on Kalākaua Avenue. Across O’ahu, the Honolulu Board of REALTORS reported a median condo price of about $510,000 in August 2026, down roughly 1% from a year earlier, while condo sales fell 6.6%, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Fewer buyers, rising fees, and stricter lender rules have made many Waikīkī units slow to sell.
Maintenance fees and special assessments
Every Waikīkī condo is run by an Association of Apartment Owners (AOAO) under HRS Chapter 514B, Hawai’i’s condominium law. The AOAO sets monthly fees and can vote special assessments for big projects like spalling concrete, plumbing risers, elevators, and roofs. Insurance costs for Hawai’i condo buildings have climbed sharply in recent years, and many associations passed that straight to owners. When reserves are low, lenders may refuse to finance units in the building, which shrinks your buyer pool. We buy for cash and can close even with an assessment pending.
Fire safety upgrades in older high-rises
After the 2017 Marco Polo fire, the City and County of Honolulu passed a law requiring older residential high-rises without sprinklers to either install them or pass a life safety evaluation. Many Waikīkī buildings from the 1960s and 1970s fall under that rule, and the cost of compliance often lands on owners as an assessment. If your building is still working through it, we can still buy.
Leasehold units
Many Waikīkī buildings sit on leased land. You own the apartment, but not the ground under it, and the lease has an end date. As fewer years remain, monthly lease rent can rise and lenders become cautious. We review the lease terms, any surrender clause, and the fee purchase options, then make an offer that reflects them.
Short-term rental rules
Honolulu does not allow rentals of less than 30 days outside resort-zoned areas without a permit. In 2022, Bill 41 tried to raise the minimum stay in residential zones to 90 days, and a federal court blocked that change for existing rentals. Whether your Waikīkī building allows short stays depends on its zoning and its own house rules. Owners who bought for rental income sometimes find it no longer adds up. See selling a rental property in Hawaii, or if you have a tenant who won’t pay, selling with problem tenants.
Off-island owners and estates
Waikīkī has many owners in Japan, Canada, and the mainland. Non-resident sellers face HARPTA withholding of 7.25% of the sale price at closing. Read HARPTA tax explained. If you inherited a unit, see selling a house in probate in Hawaii.

Waikīkī Condo FAQs
Do you buy leasehold condos in Waikīkī?
Yes. We buy leasehold units and price them based on the years left on the lease and the lease rent. We’ll explain how the lease affects the number.
My building just voted a special assessment. Can I still sell?
Yes. We can buy with an assessment pending. We’ll agree up front on who pays it at closing, so there are no surprises.
Can you buy a condotel unit in a hotel program?
Often, yes. We’ll review the rental program agreement and any exit terms before making an offer.
How fast can you close on a Waikīkī condo?
We can close in as little as 7 days once we have the condo documents and clear title.
Will the AOAO need to approve the sale?
Most Waikīkī buildings don’t require approval, but some have a right of first refusal or move-in rules. We check the bylaws and handle it.
