Learn moreThe highest median price of any Kauai community
One 2026 source cited Poipu's median home price at approximately $1.8 million -- the highest of any Kauai community that source measured, driven by real oceanfront scarcity, vacation-rental income support, and mainland demand (base record).
A real, disclosed cross-source spread
A separate, Redfin-sourced figure cited a $1.3 million median SALE price for a specific recent month (down 3.1% YoY) -- this record discloses both figures rather than resolving to one number (base record).
Above even neighboring Koloa's elevated prices
Poipu's figures run above even Koloa's own already-elevated South Shore prices (this project's koloa.js record), reflecting Poipu's premium oceanfront/resort positioning (base record).
