| Ah, the good old days, when candy bars were a nickel, haircuts were a quarter and a Manoa house went for … $18,750!? To give some perspective on today’s housing market, we took a look at 10 single-family houses up for sale in neighborhoods all over the island and researched what they sold for over the years. All of the properties are now fee simple (fs); for those that started off as leasehold (lh), we’ve noted when the property converted to fee simple, and what it cost to purchase the fee. For space reasons, we didn’t always list every change in ownership, but what is listed gives a fairly representative sale history for each house.
