Market Update
It has been shown time and time again, that the Maui Real Estate market tracks the California Real Estate market with a lag of 6 to 12 months.
If that is going to hold true again in this latest real estate cycle, then things you should definitely be looking up here on Maui very soon. The reason is that California sales have increased on a year over year basis for the last 9 months.
Furthermore, median prices have stabilized in the last several months in Southern California. In fact, we have been told that bidding has become rather intense lately on Distressed Properties with buyers often paying over asking price.
New home sales, traffic and optimism are on the rise, according to an April survey of builders across the country.
Have a wonderful week.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
The Smith Team
