On Oahu, you'd be lucky to find a studio apartment for that much.
I am not certain about other islands, but I don't think they are any better for housing.
July single-family house median was $640,000 and condos was $335,000

My understanding the real estate field is very saturated, but Hawaii also has a low un-employment rate.
