Maui Market Update April 2024

Posted on by

April 2024 saw a decline in the U.S. housing market as existing-home sales moved away from a one-year peak, declining 4.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 4.19 million. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has claimed that this decline is the result of rising home prices and interest rates, which have put off some prospective purchasers. A 4.8% increase from the previous month, the median price of existing homes hit $393,500, while the average 30-year mortgage rate has risen beyond 7%.

When it comes to property types, single-family homes and condominiums have very different market dynamics. The number of new listings increased by an astounding 36.6% for condos and 3.7% for single-family houses. But pending sales of condominiums fell by 31.2%, while single-family house pending sales rose by 5.8%. For single-family homes, the median sales price increased sharply by 16.9% to $1,300,000 and for condos, by 8.4% to $962,500. The inventory changes also showed a mixed picture, with single-family home values rising by 1.8% and condominium values rising by a significant 141.0%.

The warmer springtime weather has enticed more sellers to enter the market, despite the obstacles presented by rising prices and loan rates; as a result, overall inventory has increased by 4.7% month over month and 14.4% year over year. As a result, at the present rate of sales, there was 3.2 months’ supply. Nationwide, sales of real estate are happening quickly; the average time a home spends on the market is now 33 days, as opposed to 38 days the previous month. This pattern highlights a continuous demand that surpasses supply, maintaining market competitiveness as the spring purchasing season approaches.

Aloha All, 

We have all been watching the Stock Market and interest rates jump around and heard many discussions of what to expect. This being an election year makes things even a little more unreliable. Happily, we can report that Maui is working towards rebuilding and all the support we have received from many sources has been very helpful. Looking to the latest end of month data, March 2024, U.S. existing-home sales saw a notable improvement, rising 9.5% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.38 million units, surpassing economists’ expectations. This surge, reported by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), marked the largest monthly gain in a year, reflecting strong buyer demand heading into the spring selling season despite fluctuating mortgage rates and elevated sales prices. Check out our popular well informed website for all the details. https://www.mauirealestate.net

Key highlights:

  • New listings rose significantly, with Single Family homes up by 19.8% and Condominium homes by 46.5%.
  • Pending sales, however, decreased by 4.3% for Single Family homes and 1.1% for Condominium homes.
  • Inventory levels remained flat for Single Family homes but increased sharply by 105.5% for Condominium properties.
  • Median sales prices surged, with Single Family homes up by 9.5% to $1,303,692 and Condominium homes by 62.9% to $1,300,000.
  • Days on Market increased for Single Family homes but decreased notably for Condominium homes.
  • Months Supply of Inventory increased for both Single Family and Condominium homes, with a particularly steep rise for the latter.

The recent spike in home sales can be attributed to a drop in mortgage rates in December and a broader increase in housing supply across the nation. NAR reported a 5.9% month-over-month and 10.3% year-over-year growth in total inventory, resulting in a 2.9 months’ supply at the current sales pace. Despite this increase in inventory, buyer demand remains strong, contributing to a 5.7% year-over-year rise in the median existing-home sales price to $384,500, marking the eighth consecutive month of annual price increases.

This past year has been very challenging. Between the economic issues and the traumatic fires things have been challenging. As we clearly know, the endeavor to rebuild Lahaina Town and the other fire-affected areas will extend over many years and demand substantial dedication and assistance. Maui’s community has been banding together to help each other. It truly shows our “aloha” spirit. Please keep in mind and share with others that Maui still possesses untouched regions where its tropical splendor thrives. Remember, MAUI IS OPEN FOR VISITORS AND BUSINESS. While these are challenging times, the enduring spirit of Aloha on Maui remains vibrant. For more details check our local information.  https://www.mauirealestate.net/real_estate_stats.html

Hawaii Real Estate Statistics January 2024

Posted on by

Here is an overview of the real estate market statistics for January 2024 by island:

Oahu Real Estate Market Statistics:

Single-Family Homes: There were 190 transactions in this market, and the average time a home was listed was 29 days. The median sales price was $1,010,000, little less than the average asking price of $1,300,000. This category had a total dollar volume of about $249.34 million.

Condos: In the condominium market, 294 properties were sold, with an average listing period of 30 days. The median sales price was $500,000. The average asking price was $602,100. Condo sales brought in a total of almost $174.18 million.

Land: Only 9 transactions totaled in land sales, but the median price was substantially higher at $1,420,000, resulting in a total dollar volume of $16.18 million.

This image shows a healthy Oahu real estate market, with single-family homes leading the way in terms of volume and median sales price, followed by land and condominiums.

Big Island Real Estate Market Statistics:

Single-Family Homes: There were 157 transactions, and the average time spent on the market was 52 days. The median sales price was significantly lower at $499,000. The average list price was set at $1,100,000. About $160.65 million was the overall dollar volume for single-family dwellings.

Condos: There were 32 sales in the condominium market, with an average of 48 days on the market. Condos had an average list price of $770,800, but a higher median sales price of $608,500 was seen. This category had a total dollar volume of about $24.33 million.

Land: With 141 transactions, there were more sales of land. With a median sales price of $45,500, land had a relatively low dollar volume of $27.76 million when compared to the other categories.

In contrast to single-family homes, which have fewer sales, condominiums have a higher median sales price, suggesting a broad real estate market with a considerable amount of land transactions at lower values. In terms of dollar volume, the single-family house market seems to be the biggest.

Kauai Real Estate Market Statistics:

Single-Family Homes: A total of 29 sales occurred, with an average of 67 days spent on the market. With a median sales price of $1,430,000, the average asking price was a significant $2,600,000. $72,323,710 was the total dollar volume for single-family dwellings.

Condos: There were 16 sales of condominiums in the market, with an average of 40 days on the market. Condos had an average list price of $1,500,000, and a median sales price of $992,500, which was almost a million dollars. Condos had a total dollar volume of $23,324,900.

Land: The total dollar volume of $10,136,855 was generated by 9 land sales at a median price of $1,046,855.

According to this statistics, single-family homes on Kauai appear to be priced higher than other property types and have longer days on the market. While land sales were rare but had high median prices, condominiums sold more quickly and in smaller quantities.

Maui Real Estate Market Statistics:

Single-Family properties: An average of 116 days were spent on the market before 56 properties were sold. The median sales price was somewhat lower at $1,322,691 than the average asking price of $1,600,000. About $87.8 million was the overall dollar volume for single-family dwellings.

Condos: The average days on market for condominiums was 138, despite having 92 sales. $1,200,000 was the average list price, and $795,000 was the median sales price. Condo sales reached a total monetary volume of approximately $108.85 million.

Land: A total of $78.41 million in dollars were exchanged for 25 sales of land, with a high median price of $1,700,000.

This suggests that Maui’s real estate market is active and has substantial sales volumes in every category. Despite being on the market for a longer period of time, condominiums brought in the most money, with single-family homes coming in second and land coming in third with fewer sales but higher median values.

Aloha All,

It is time again to update you regarding what the real estate market is doing and also to ask you to mark your calendars to save the date of December 7th for our annual Holiday Toy Drive.

Regarding real estate activity, the US Mainland seems to have leveled off in its decrease in sales although the majority of areas continue to see modest increases in prices.  The vast majority of economists continue to predict that the market will continue to slowly but steadily increase, but at a much more sustainable pace (3% or so).  The really good news is that the FED’s continue to predict no interest rate increases from them for the rest of the year.

Inventory on Maui is still shrinking as new listings decreased 1.7% for single family and 1.5% for condos.  In addition, Single Family inventory decreased 14.6% and Condos decreased 11.4%.  Median Sales Prices increased 3.4% to $750,000 for homes and increased 7.2% to $552,000 for condominiums.  Less inventory could mean upward pressure on prices in the long run.

Luana Garden Villas at Honua Kai pre-sales continue to be strong – over 90% are now under contract and construction is well under way.  The majority of construction of Kalama Kai in Kihei has reached completion and occupancy of units has begun.  D.R. Horton is currently offering new construction homes in Wailuku with some interesting incentives.  They are 2 story, with 3 or 4 bedrooms and priced between $667K-$721K.  Towne Island Homes also has some completed properties available in the mid $600’s.  We have some exciting listings in Wailea, Kapalua, Kahului, Kihei, Pukalani and Haiku ~ homes, condos and vacant land.  Just to mention a few locations: A Wailea Kai best buy, a Haiku home on 2 acres and a Maui Meadows home and Ohana, plus so many more all over the Island.  Be sure to check all the featured listings on our website www.MauiRealEstate.net   Our office features agents that specialize in different areas of Hawaii.

Important notice:  Tune in for more information regarding Hawaii’s economy either by listening to Clint Hansen’s radio program at KAOI 1110 AM where he will be interviewing Paul Brewbaker, Hawaii’s respected economist or go to mauirealestate.net/radio or MauiRealEstate.net/mauirealestateradio for the audio or written version.  Clint’s radio program is every Monday at 7:00 to 8:00 am and covers different aspects of our real estate.

Please give us a call for updates for your specific area.  We are here to help.  Following are our numbers.

Wishing you a fantastic summer,

Clint, Donna, and Bob
