Market Update
Are you looking for a brand new luxury home in an exclusive gated Golf Course Community in South Maui? Look no further!
For a limited time, the next 5 buyers will receive a $200,000 discount off the List Price at Hokulani Golf Villas. With prices starting at $989K, this works out to a discount of approximately 20%.
Call us for a personal viewing, or check out this Video Tour of the project as well as Virtual Tours for the following 3 models: House 1, House 2, and House 3. There are no better values for homes of this quality in this type of setting.
One out of every 5 new pending sales on Maui is an REO (Bank Owned) property. Because this is a such an important segment of the market, we are now including newly listed REO's as well as price reductions on existing listings that occurred since our last publication.
As a heads up, we are listing an REO home in North Kihei in the next day or two. This five year old, 2136 sq. ft. 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home with attached 1 bedroom ohana, has central a/c, granite counters in kitchen and bathrooms, Jacuzzi Tub, wood laminate flooring, and more. At $506,900, we expect it will sell very quickly.
Have a wonderful week.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
The Smith Team
P.S. In the past, we have been less than enthusiastic about Short Sales; however, since banks are now approving many of them in less time, we will start including this category along with REO's next week.
