Maui Hotel Occupancy Continues to Climb

Tourism is the economic engine of Maui’s economy, so it is was welcome news to read that Hotel occupancy on Maui was up again rather sharply last month. We still have a ways to go, but we appear to be on the right track. Read more.

We know that many people have shied away from Short Sales, because of the uncertainty and lengthy process to get bank approval. Times are changing, though, and we are getting more short sales approved in shorter time frames. No longer should you have to wait 6 months to get approval from the Bank.

The featured property listing on Baby Beach in Lahaina would be an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking for a great deal on beachfront property. These homes are side by side, so make an offer on one or both. You might end up getting both homes for the price that just one home was worth a few years ago.

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year.
