Rightsizing in Manoa: Home Tour + Market Update

Manoa is one of Honolulu's most coveted neighborhoods — lush
valley homes, mature trees, tight-knit community, and proximity
to top schools. It's also where the conversation about
"rightsizing" (not downsizing) is happening more than ever.

In this video, Maila tours 3656 Alani Drive — a 4-bed, 2.5-bath
Manoa home listed at $1.898M — and shares the current 2026
market data for the neighborhood: median prices, days on market,
sales-to-list ratio, and where Manoa sits in the broader Oahu
single-family picture.

She also unpacks why "rightsizing" is a more honest frame for
what most Hawaii homeowners are actually doing when they consider
selling their home: finding the one that fits the season of life
they're in, whether that means fewer bedrooms, different bedrooms,
or the same footprint in a different configuration.
