Hawaii search areas: Honolulu, East Honolulu, Pearl City, Waipahu, Ewa, Kapolei, Kailua, Kaneohe, and communities across Honolulu County; Kahului, Wailuku, Kihei, Lahaina, Makawao, Paia, and communities across Maui County; Hilo, Kailua-Kona, Puna, Keaau, Waikoloa, Waimea, and communities across Hawaii County; Kapaa, Lihue, Poipu, Koloa, Hanalei, Princeville, and communities across Kauai County. Hawaii has two metropolitan statistical areas in this set: Urban Honolulu and Kahului-Wailuku. Hilo-Kailua and Kapaa are micropolitan areas, so the four selections are presented as housing markets rather than falsely labeling all four as metros.
