Prices Rise As Inventory Declines

Median prices for both homes and condominiums rose for the month of February while inventory and sales declined. Median home prices increased 15.4%  to $790,000 and median condo prices rose 11.8 percent to $524,500. These stats were released by Realtors Association of Maui.

Closed sales for February homes were down 19.4% to 79 homes. Closed condo sales were down 3.2% to 120. Kihei was the city with the most homes sold, with Wailuku and Kahului close behind. Closed condo sales also saw Kihei with the most units sold with Napili/Kahana/Honokowai and Wailuku next.

Maui’s market was on trend with the rest of the nation showing a decrease in closed sales. Potential homeowners will likely take advantage the remainder of the year with interest rates being more stable then 2018’s unreliable changing rates.
