Maui’s housing market showed signs of slowing in April, with single-family home sales declining 30% year over year to 49 transactions, while the median price held within recent ranges at $1,290,000 (-26% YoY). In contrast, the condo segment saw a modest increase in activity, with 70 sales (+13% YoY), though pricing remained adjusted at $651,250 (-32% YoY). While closed sales reflect prior months, a noticeable slowdown in new escrows during April signals a shift in near-term demand. As the market moves into the summer months, rising
mortgage rates, broader geopolitical uncertainty, along with factors such as weather patterns and fluctuations in tourism throughout March and April, will all play a role in shaping overall market performance.

Maui’s real estate market closed out the year with a seasonal uptick in activity, led by stronger buyer engagement across both single-family homes and condominiums. Single-family home sales increased to 66 transactions (+18% YoY), while condo sales jumped to 77 closings (+48% YoY), the highest monthly total since April 2024. Pricing remained relatively stable overall, reflecting a market where increased activity is being met with disciplined, value-focused buyers rather than broad price acceleration.

Maui’s real estate market showed early signs of renewed momentum in October as we moved into the traditional peak sales season, with total sales rising month-over-month across both single-family and condo segments. Buyer confidence appears to be improving, likely supported in part by the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts in October, which have begun easing borrowing costs and contributed to a modest uptick in activity. While pricing trends remain mixed across property types, competitively priced homes continued to draw interest, and sellers aligned with market conditions are seeing results.

Just Sold in North Kihei, Maui

I’m pleased to share that my listing at 115 Luluka Place just closed. It went under contract only 4 days after hitting the market, with a backup offer secured.

What this means for you:

• Sellers: The right pricing and preparation can still generate fast, competitive offers.

• Buyers: The best homes are moving quickly. Being prepared to act is key.
