Market Update
Median Price and Inventory Increases for Condos
A significant jump in both new listings of condos and the median price occurred in August. When compared with August of 2019, there is a 97% increase in the number of new listings. All the new inventory has driven the median price for condos up 18.9% to $591,000. As it stands right now there are 757 active condo listings on Maui.
2 New Affordable Housing Projects Approved
The Maui County Council has approved 2 affordable housing projects that will be constructed in Kihei. The first project is called the Liloa Hale Senior Rental Housing Project and will be comprised of a three-story apartment building containing 117 units. The second project is a 3 acre affordable housing complex called Hale Kaiola which will contain 40 units built in a duplex style. The Maui County Council unanimously approved both projects because the demand for affordable housing on Maui is incredibly high.
National Preparedness Month
During the month of September, Hawaii residents are encouraged to acknowledge the potential for natural disasters and other threats as well as develop a plan to protect themselves and their families as part of National Preparedness Month. The theme of the 2020 National Preparedness Month is “Disasters Don’t Wait, Make Your Plan Today. You can visit this link to see the schedule for National Preparedness Month and what topics will be covered to help get you prepared for a number of different scenarios.

P.S. Supporting Local Businesses
Poi By The Pound
It’s sad to say goodbye to any beloved local restaurant, and since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March we have had to say goodbye to several that had been open for years and served the Maui community diligently with delicious food. Poi By The Pound is known for their mouthwatering local cuisine and have a loyal following in the Maui community, but even so they have seen their business decrease month over month to the point where they will have to close their doors indefinitely. Originally they had planned to close this coming Friday, but thanks to the requests of their customers and even their landlord they have decided to stay open for an additional 2 weeks. Be sure to visit their Kahului location for some fantastic food over the next 2 weeks and show them some support!
