March Maui Update

Posted on by

 Aloha All, 

We find ourselves with the first quarter of 2026 already nearing its close. The year has unfolded with a distinct and compelling energy as we consider last year’s changes and what we will face this coming year. While every new year carries a sense of optimism, 2026 feels uniquely significant to many who welcomed the Chinese New Year referred to as The Year of the Fire Horse, an event that occurs only once every 60 years. This event is often associated with transformation where new opportunities begin to take shape for those ready to make changes. 

That energy is already unfolding. March, known for “coming in like a lion,” delivered exactly that on Maui, and the shifts extend beyond weather. Climate patterns have moved from El Niño into La Niña signaling a transition from drier conditions to a more tropical, dynamic environment. 

In real estate, these broader cycles often mirror market behavior. Change introduces movement and movement creates opportunity for some yet not for others. What we are seeing locally reflects exactly that, a market adjusting, recalibrating, and presenting new entry points for both buyers and sellers who are prepared to act strategically. 

One large change may be the South Maui Master Plan which is presently being considered by the Maui County Council. The full report is approximately 67 pages. We have the full report as well as an overview of it and if you would like us to email either to you, please let us know. Some big changes deal with the three Wailea Golf Course developments with changes regarding the land and tennis courts. This is the time to pay attention should it be of importance to you. 

If you own property on Maui, please note that the new property assessments have been published. Please be aware that if you wish to challenge your property’s assessment, you have very little time to complete the paperwork.

STATISTICS: 

On Maui, the numbers tell the story. New listings declined 20.0% for single-family homes and 7.6% for condominiums, while pending sales surged 22.8% for single-family homes and an impressive 63.0% for condominiums, clear indicators of renewed buyer activity. Median sales prices softened, down 10.4% to $1,250,000 for single-family homes and 11.7% to $847,500 for condominiums, creating opportunities for buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines. At the same time, days on market increased and inventory expanded, giving buyers more leverage and choice than we’ve seen in recent years. 

In a market like this, timing, pricing, and positioning matter more than ever. Whether you’re considering selling, searching for the right opportunity, or simply trying to understand what these shifts mean for your property, having clear, current insight can make all the difference. If you need assistance with the property assessment link or you’d like to discuss your specific situation or explore what opportunities may exist for you in today’s market, we are always here as a resource. 

Please know that your entrusting us with your own business and those of friends and family mean so much to us. Thank you for your loyalty and referrals.

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.

Hawaii Real Estate Statistics January 2024

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.
