Market Update
There is no question that living in Hawaii is expensive and requires residents to work much harder to support their families than their counterparts on the Mainland. In a recent 2018 study released by the National Low-Income Housing Coalition, it was said that to afford a 2-bedroom rental at fair market value in the County of Maui you would have to be making upwards of $31.13 per hour. That number was second only to Oahu where the hourly wage would need to be closer to $39.06 per hour to afford the same rental in Honolulu. If you are curious about the full report and would like to learn more, click here.
The cost of living in Hawaii has been steadily rising over the past 10 years, but that doesn’t mean owning as opposed to renting a home on the beautiful island of Maui is not in the future for you. The Smith Team works tirelessly to find the best homes at affordable prices all over the island. There are also a wide variety of financing options geared towards providing potential homeowners with the funding they need to close on a new home. If you are a long term resident or visiting soon our team would love to show you some of the amazing properties available.

P.S. Kahului Lani is a brand-new building project intended to provide affordable housing for seniors age 55 and older. While the complex is not finished, they are currently accepting applications for the first 82 rental units. Applications will be accepted through 4pm on Friday August 30th. If construction stays close to the intended timeline, then residents will be able to move in as early as February 2020. For more information and complete details click here.
