Alaska’s
39.4%
price-cut
rate
tops
Hawaii’s
31.9%
even
as
both
markets
balance
seller
leverage
with
longer
selling
timelines.

Alaska’s
housing
market
saw
39.4%
of
active
listings
reduce
their
asking
prices
during
the
week
ending
Nov.
7,
2025,
outpacing

Hawaii’s
31.9%
price
cut
rate
despite
Alaska
homes
carrying
a
median
list
price
of
$469,000
compared
to
Hawaii’s
$1,285,000.

The
pricing
strategy
divergence
between
America’s
two
non-contiguous
states
reveals
distinct
market
dynamics.
Alaska’s
median
home
sits
on
the
market
for
84
days,
while
Hawaii
properties
require
105
days
to
find
buyers,
according
to
HW
Data’s
weekly
market
analysis
covering
single-family
homes.

Price
adjustments
reflect
regional
pressures

Alaska’s
higher
rate
of
price
reductions
occurs
alongside
a
tighter
inventory
situation,
with
1.8
months
of
supply
compared
to
Hawaii’s
2.3
months.
The
Alaska
market
absorbed
190
homes
during
the
week
while
adding
70
new
listings.
Hawaii
saw
235
homes
absorbed
against
120
new
listings
entering
the
market.

Both
states
maintain
seller-favorable
conditions
despite
the
pricing
adjustments.
Alaska’s
price
per
square
foot
reached
$254.8,
while
Hawaii
commanded
$708.5
per
square
foot,
reflecting
the
islands’
premium
real
estate
values.

Inventory
patterns
diverge
from
pricing
strategies

The
relisting
rate
tells
another
story
about
market
stability.
Hawaii
properties
showed
a
8.0%
relisting
rate
compared
to
Alaska’s
5.7%,
suggesting
Hawaii
sellers
more
frequently
withdraw
and
relist
properties
rather
than
adjust
prices
downward.

Active
inventory
totaled
1,425
homes
in
Alaska
and
2,140
in
Hawaii.
Price
increases
remained
minimal
in
both
markets,
with
Alaska
seeing
0.8%
of
listings
raise
prices
and
Hawaii
at
0.6%.

National
context
highlights
regional
extremes

Both
states
exceed
national
benchmarks
for
time
on
market,
with
the
U.S.
median
at
77
days.
The
national
months
of
supply
stands
at
2.5,
placing
Alaska
below
and
Hawaii
near
the
national
average.
The
national
median
list
price
of
$432,980
and
price
per
square
foot
of
$212.3
underscore
how
both
Alaska
and
Hawaii
command
premiums
above
typical
U.S.
markets.
