May Market Report 2024
Maui's real estate market has shown stability over the past year, with total sales, median prices, and days on market remaining within a narrow range when comparing May 2024 to May 2023. Year over year, single-family home prices have appreciated by 4% to $1,300,000, while condos are up by 2% to $845,000. Of the two market categories, demand for single-family homes remains strong, whereas condos are facing mounting pressure from a drop in visitor arrivals and uncertainty about the Minatoya list.
SINGLE-FAMILY HOME TRANSACTIONS
A slight uptick in sales combined with declining days on market is a healthy indicator that buyers remain active in the Maui single-family home market, with nearly 1 in 4 properties being sold above the asking price. The markets with the highest market activity for May were Wailuku, with 18 total sales and a median price increase of 9%, and Makawao, with 12 total sales, nearly doubling the area’s historical average. Across the island, areas with higher price points are seeing longer days on market.
CONDOMINIUM TRANSACTIONS
A sharp decline in condo sales in Kihei (-38%) and Kaanapali (-36%) is likely the result of Maui County’s proposed legislation to phase out short-term vacation rentals for 7,000 properties on the Minatoya List. With so much uncertainty, anticipate the condo market to experience some volatility in both sales activity and demand.
