Maui Real Estate Market Update 2022
Navigating through the Maui Real Estate Market in 2022?

Much is being said about the state of the real estate market, with some pundits sticking their head in the sand saying nothing has changed and on the opposite end, some saying the sky is falling.  As a service to our clients and site visitors, we would like to briefly discuss the Maui real estate market through the lens of statistics. 

To start, let's recognize that real estate trends / conditions are incredibly locally-based and even within an area, there could be significantly different conditions across micro-markets. So although back in San Francisco the market may be doing one thing, we may be seeing something very different on Maui - and even within Maui, conditions in Wailea may be widely…

Since its introduction in the late 1970's, Wailea Elua has been one of the stable micro-markets within the overall Wailea real estate market and South Maui region as a whole. The property consists of 148 units yet in the past 22 years, there have only been 134 sales (some units sold multiple times), with many owners holding on to their properties as a legacy for their family.

With pent up demand and measurably low inventory, there has been upwards pressure on values over the past few years. Let's start by looking at the recent market (trailing 12 months) versus current inventory. As location within the property holds a significant impact on valuation, review the map below so that there can be pertinent context.

It's time for our monthly breakdown of how the Hawaii Real Estate market is performing, with the understanding that in such a diverse State, micro-market conditions can differ significantly even within the same district.  Now let's take a look.

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES

Maui - The month of September saw a significant increase in the Single Family market, with an increase of 47% from 80 sold in September last year to 118 this year, while the median sales price saw a very moderate decrease of 4.6% to $719,718. Year to date sales are relatively stable at 844, compared to 880 a year ago but it's important to note that current inventory is down 13% over a year ago - 441 vs. 507.

Oahu - July saw the record for Oahu single-family homes at $835K median sales…

Hawaii Luxury Home

Hawaii has always been a haven for the world's most affluent, with year-round picture perfect weather, some of the most acclaimed amenities anywhere, an inviting culture of Aloha, and a natural environment as diverse as its people - from top-rated beaches, to tropical mountains and everything in between. As such, it's no surprise that luminaries from technology, finance, business, entertainment and more call Hawaii their second home. 

Although the 2019 Hawaii luxury market ($10M+) is on a slow down, Hawaii offers among the most luxurious and unique properties anywhere. It is important to note that each island offers something incredibly different - from Oahu's urban oasis in the Pacific, to Kauai's quiet, undeveloped tropical heaven, to Big Island's stark…

Our featured listing, 4508 Makena Road on Maui.

The Hawaii Luxury Real Estate market has had a bit of an 'off' year thus far in 2019 when compared to the previous year, which included the record-breaking $46M+ sale on the North Shore of Kauai and several over $20M on each island. 

UPDATE:  Our post was originally posted on 09/28. Updating on 09/30 to reflect the sale of a 10K square foot home in Kukio for $15.99M, which closed earlier last week.

Correction:  The record sale year to date in the State is the Kaupulehu 7-bedroom estate in Kukuio for $15.99M. Previously, the high mark belonged to the sale of 766 Mokulua Drive in Kailua which closed for $14.8M, slightly edging the sale of the a home in Hualalai Resort for $14.75M and a Makena home, 7555 Makena…

Question: I hear the high-end sector is not doing very well in Hawaii. I have a home in Kihei and I fear that now would be terrible time to sell. Is that true?

Answer: Much is being said that the real estate market nationwide is on a downturn and lack of inventory continues to frustrate prospective Buyers. However, local real estate trends can be significantly different than general trends, hence it's always best to look at a granular level to see how the micro-market is acting. So with that, let's discuss:

Single-Family Homes - The term 'high-end' can have various definitions, particularly in a market like Maui where homes can go north of $20M but which are few and far between. As such, for the sake of this analysis, we are looking at $1M as the marker for…

With multiple islands, each diverse in micro-markets acting independently of each other yet with in some ways in harmony, the Hawaii Real Estate market is among the most simple yet complex in the country. 

So with that, let's take a look at the market is doing across the four major markets, broken down by category. 

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES

Maui - Single-Family Residences on Maui saw marked improvements, broken down by type - Single Family: median $837,500 (+20%), based on 78 sales (-20%) ;   Single Family with Attached Ohana: median $927,500 (+18%), based on 2 closed sales ; Single Family with Detached Ohana: $837,500 (-11%), with 18 sales closed (+125%).
Oahu - The record set last month for Oahu with the $835K median sales price remains safe, as the…

Wailea Kialoa Home

As 2019 quickly moves through the calendar and over half the year is in the books, we think it's a pertinent time to take a look at the Wailea real estate market for a recap of the current position of the market relative to the rest of the Maui market and in a more micro-market level as to how it is performing relative to previous years.

Let's start by looking at how the Wailea market is performing in comparison to all of Maui - keep in mind, we compile our data based on the resort of Wailea only, whereas most others combine Wailea/Makena into one 'area' which skews statistics. Please note that the chart below details year-to-date information. For single-family homes, we can see that there was big increase in median sales price from 2017 to 2018 and that…
