Among the many reasons why Hawaii is a unique real estate market, and insulated from most of what happens on the Mainland is its status of high personal income. Personal income has a direct effect on the ability to purchase real estate. Placing number 4 in the nation is no small accomplishment.

Nationally, personal income dropped the last quarter of 2007 however Hawaii increased over that same period. Again, Hawaii is unique and does not usually follow Mainland trends.
