with directed answers just like I gave - the value judgement assigned to my response - and what I perceive as an angry reply - all yours - grin

Those values on Zillow are always way higher than what houses are actually selling for, at least in my area.

Mine in HA dropped by 20% Maybe they read my questions on here? I am very appreciative of this forum and the people that are so helpful. I buy and don't sell.

This site has charts for Hilo and Puna separately, as well as Kona and the island average over the past 6 years:

Interesting. The number of home sales have been dropping off as the median price recovers, starting to go back to 2008 prices before the crash. So, contrary to popular belief around here, Pahoa home sales are down quite a bit from 2012.

I think what you are seeing is the reduction in repossession sales. Most of the 'cheap' bank owned homes have been sold off, resulting in fewer sales per quarter while average prices managed to rise a bit.
