Park Maui Program

Maui’s PARK MAUI program is set to introduce paid parking at popular beaches and small towns to reduce overcrowding and congestion. The Flowbird CWT Touch pay station will be used, and the pilot phase is scheduled to begin this summer at Ulua/Mokapu Beach Park in Wailea, Kamaole Beach Parks in Kihei, and areas of Lahaina and Wailuku town. The proposal includes affordable permits for employees to park in designated off-street parking and free parking for Maui County residents at Maui parks and beaches. Visitors will also have the option to purchase beach parking passes. We will keep you updated as more details are reported.

Mortgage Rates Fall

Mortgage rates fell this week, boosting the housing market’s recovery. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.32% for the week ending March 30, according to Freddie Mac. As major housing indicators improve, borrowing costs are heading down. However, limited housing options will likely hinder some potential buyers this spring. Baby boomers, who own homes and have more wealth than younger generations, are now the top homebuying force in America.
