Market Update
On March 10th of last year just prior to the State imposed quarantine restrictions going into effect and essentially shutting down all tourism, we had 438 Homes for sale and 454 Condos in Maui County (Includes Lanai and Molokai). As one might have expected, when vacation condo owners could not rent out their condos for the following 7 months, many of them decided to sell.
On October 7, the Condo Inventory had increased to 743 units actively for sale, but at the same time the number of homes decreased to only 321. Even though the condo inventory increased by over 60%, prices for the most part did not drop.
As of today, there are 301 condos for sale and only 199 homes. Everything is selling now and prices are increasing….especially for homes. Affordable homes on Maui are an oxymoron. Try and find a decent home that is not a tear down for under $600K. It is almost impossible these days.
Of course, this is exactly what you like to see if you are thinking about selling. List your property at a reasonable price close to the last comparable sale, and you will most likely sell it at or above list price within a week.
The news is not all bad for buyers. After spiking in February, interest rates have dropped back down somewhat. You can still get a 30 year fixed rate loan for 3% with no points.
If you are thinking of buying or selling, we would love to help you.

P.S. - According to YouGov, Americans ranked all US states from best to worst and Hawaii is the most popular state in the nation. We definitely do have beautiful beaches and warm weather here on Maui.
