The Masters at Kaanapali Hillside: Market Update





The Masters is one of my favorite condominium communities, having gotten my start in real estate working on the developer's sales team (far too long ago).  The property overlooks the Royal Kaanapali golf course, with sweeping views of the ocean and outer islands.  The low-rise, low-density development, lends a feeling of privacy and space, with 200 units on approximately 38 acres.  Amenities in this gated community include two pools, two spas, and four tennis courts, and the ability to have BBQ's.  It's a popular choice for both primary residents and second homeowners alike seeking to live in the Kaanapali Resort.


As we navigate an unusual time, many buyers and sellers are wondering how to value properties that are currently on the market.  Questions like &quot;How much has the market changed in the last real estate cycle?&quot; &quot;When was the peak?&quot;, and &quot;When was the low?&quot; are common. 


To answer these questions and others, it is helpful to have context as to where the market has been over the last twelve years.

In general, we saw the market peak in 2007/2008 for most of Maui's resort communities, with the bottom following fairly shortly after the peak.


If we look at the average sales prices, the last cycle peaks at the Masters were in 2007/2008 and in 2018, with market lows in 2010 and again in 2017.  So how does the market compare now? The average sales price for closings year to date is down -29 from the market high in 2007.  It is up +19 from the market lows of 2010/2017.


It is important to note a few key points:  the Masters has three different sizes of residences from 1B-3B, with the majority of the units being 2B floor plans.  As a result, if there are no 1B or 3B sales in a calendar year, average sales prices can be affected.  Built in 1989, many of the residences have been renovated, which will also impact final sales prices and averages.  And while it can be hard to quantify, the view/location also has a huge impact on the value of a property.

        <title>Missing Hawaii? 21 Movies to Watch</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



Are you missing Hawaii right now?


With everyone sheltering in place and restrictions on travel, movies are one way to bring the islands to your living room.  In the past century, hundreds of films have been filmed in Hawaii, starting with HAWAIIAN LOVE and THE SHARK GOD, filmed in 1913.  Many early classics were filmed here, starring headliners like Bing Crosby, Elvis, Frank Sinatra and Shirly Temple.  And let's not forget about Hawaii's legendary surf and the surfers who inspire us all.


Some films may surprise you, like Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Planet of the Apes, which all used Hawaii as a backdrop for a fictional setting.  Others have a story rooted in Hawaii and the island culture and provide a thought-provoking look at life in the islands, like Kuleana and the Descendants.  For anyone wanting to take a deep dive, the Hawaii Film Office has a summary of films made either partially or completely in Hawaii from 1913-2006.
