Kapalua Resort Home Sales YTD 2022 vs. Prior Years





In 2022, we are seeing a trend toward longer days on market and a higher sales price/sq. ft.  That said when looking at the sales statistics, it's important to note some differences.


Summary of Homes Sold in 2022





The average sales price to list price is 97.  There have been some sales at 100 of asking or above.  For example, newly constructed homes at Mahana Estates and two turn-key homes in Pineapple Hill and Pineapple Hill Estates.  There have also been homes to sell below asking, which tend to be older homes in Pineapple Hill and Plantation Estates, where some updates may be needed or desired, sold at 89-92 of asking. 


Note these figures do not include homes or land that aren't part of the Kapalua Resort Association

        <title>Maui Real Estate Statistics: September 2022</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Each month, the Realtor's Association of Maui publishes updates on the Maui real estate market.  The report notes


&quot;New Listings decreased 39.3 percent for Single Family homes and 52.7 percent for Condominium homes.Pending Sales decreased 30.7 percent for Single Family homes and 36.0 percent for Condominium homes.Inventory increased 7.8 percent for Single Family homes and 9.7 percent for Condominium homes.Median Sales Price increased 3.0 percent to $1,025,000 for Single Family homes and 9.7 percent to $800,000 for Condominium homes. Days on Market increased 10.7 percent for Single Family homes but decreased 31.5 percent for Condominium homes. Months Supply of Inventory increased 45.0 percent for Single Family homes and 50.0 percent for Condominium homes.


Affordability challenges have priced many buyers out of the market this year, and buyers who do succeed in purchasing a home are finding that the costs of homeownership have increased significantly, with monthly mortgage payments more than 55 higher than a year ago, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. Inventory remains lower than normal, and as the market continue to shift, experts project homes will begin to spend more days on market and price growth will slow in the months ahead.&quot;


It seems as if the frenzy of 2021 is behind us, though locations with great views in excellent condition are still commanding the interest of buyers. The South Maui resorts of Wailea and Makena continue to command the highest condominium sales prices, though the Montage Residences, Kapalua Bay are not far behind.

        <title>Maui Oceanfront Market Update: January 2020</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
MAUI OCEANFRONT HOMESMarket Update, January 2020





View Goals  1437 Front Street is an oceanfront home for sale in the heart of Lahaina, on historic front streetView More Information


Maui has several areas with oceanfront homes: West Maui, South Maui, North Shore, East Maui and Central Maui.  As you will see below, the home prices and activity tend to be highest in the resort areas of West and South Maui, and along the North Shore. 


There are broad fluctuations in price depending on whether the property is beachfront or oceanfront; whether it is on a rocky shoreline or cliffside without water access; and the age, condition and size of the home.  


Over the past five years, oceanfront home sales have consistently seen a volume of around 20/year, with a low of 13 sales in 2015, and a high of 25 sales in 2017.  Comparing 2019 with 2018, it's noteworthy that the number of sales is down 30 and the sales volume down 57.


Please note the 2019 statistics no longer include 6 sales in the Makena Resort by Discovery Land Co. that were reclassified in our MLS from Beachfront to Across the Street from the Ocean on 12/13/2019.  This removed $60,162,136 million from the oceanfront home sales statistics that were previously posted in the blog post on 11/30/2019.  That inventory had increased the average Days on Markets stat as escrow could only close when construction was complete.  In addition, the average Sales Price and SP/Sq. Ft. dropped.


It is also worth noting that oceanfront homes are selling at a lower percentage of the asking price than the prior year as well as with a longer average days on market.  This can mean great opportunities for buyers of oceanfront properties as the inventory has built considerably, with approximately 3 years worth of inventory. 


We are already starting to see more pending escrows with 8 homes pending now vs. 4 in 11/2019.  It is interesting to note that all but one of the pending sales is under $5,000,000, with a high sale pending at $10,880,000.

There is often a misperception that we see more sales in the Wailea/Makena Market.  What is important to note is that there are far fewer oceanfront homes in resort areas in West Maui than in Wailea/Makena.  For example, there are only 6 oceanfront homesites in Kaanapali's only oceanfront residential neighborhood, Kai Ala Place.  Similarly, there are just five oceanfront homesites in Kapalua Place, Kapalua's only oceanfront residential neighborhood.   Wailea/Makena are larger-scale resorts, with more oceanfront residential communities such as Keawekapu Beach, Maluhia, Makena Place, the Makena Beach Cottages, and Black Sands, as well as homes scattered along the Makena Coastline that aren't part of a formal subdivision.  Kihei's Halama Street is also a popular area with beachfront homes stretching along the shoreline.


The highest-priced listing on the island is located in the Kapalua Resort:  9 Bay Drive is an 8B/8.5 acre estate situated on 9.97 acres.  It is currently offered at $37,500,000, reduced from $49,000,000.   The highest asking price in South Maui is $27,498,000.


These compare with a high sales price of $27,000,000 for an oceanfront estate in 2011 in Makena.  7150 Makena Road is a 4B/5.5B home on 1.69 acres.  To date, the largest sale on Maui for a private residence that was actually across the street from the ocean, in Keauhou, Makena $41,750,000 in 2015 (not in MLS) .


It should be noted--with such a small sampling, the statistics can vary widely at any given time, and the above are MLS statistics.  Additional properties have changed hands privately and are not entered in MLS.  For more information on all areas of Maui read: Maui Real Estate Statistics.

        <title>708 Fairway Drive: Modern Hawaiian Interior Design Meets Kapalua's Pineapple Hill</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Pineapple Hill at Kapalua: introducing 708 Fairway Drive


Nana Doors at 708 Fairway Drive in Pineapple Hill open to the outdoors: Indoor-Outdoor living allows you to enjoy the views of the Kapalua Golf Course, the Pacific Ocean and outer island views


Pineapple Hill &amp; Pineapple Hill Estates


Pineapple Hill was originally developed with six single-story and two-story floor plan designs, with custom homes being allowed on two or more contiguous lots.  With just 99 homesites, 13 lots ended up being utilized for these larger, custom homes.


In the early 2000's, Kapalua Resort annexed in Pineapple Hill Estates, a 31 lot subdivision.  These slightly larger homesites allow custom homes, with the main difference being the top row could have two story homes, and the remainder of the lots were restricted to single level with roof heights no higher than 25 feet.

        <title>The Kapalua Bay Course: New Pro-Shop and Reconfigured Course</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
The newly reconfigured Kapalua Bay Course opens in its new location at the Kapalua Village Center


The new Kapalua Bay Course Pro Shop opens today at the Village Center next to Taverna Restaurant.  In addition to proximity to great Italian food, the new location provides increased retail offerings, a complete grass driving range, 2 large practice putting greens and is located right below the Kapalua Golf Academy.





This relocation will provide the Bay Course with a complete grass driving range ( no more limited distance balls) and 2 large practice putting greens.  Additionally, the retail offerings at the Bay Course should be able to offer more merchandise selections with the increased square footage of this location.  


The Bay Course opened in 1975 and has become one of Maui's favorite courses for visitors and locals alike for its relaxed play and beautiful views.  The 18 hole, par 72 course has been home to over 20 major championships, including the Kapalua Invitational and the Kapalua LPGA Classic.  Now under management by Troon, the following changes will accompany the move to a new location in the center of the resort: 




The 1st hole on the Bay Course will now be what was previously the 7th hole (the Par 4 dogleg to the right up to an elevated green just below the Ridge Villas)


A brand new cart path has been built to take golfers from the Golf check-in at the Village Center to this new 1st hole.


All holes will progress forward from there, with old 8th hole repositioned as the 2nd hole.


The Iconic oceanfront 5th hole, where you tee off and shoot across the water, will now become the 17th hole


The new 18th Hole will be the Par 5 of old 6th next to Office Road, allowing everyone to finish up at the New 19th hole at Taverna :)


The old guest service area tunnel just below the old Bay Pro Shop is scheduled to be updated to offer expanded guest services.  You can pick up extra towels, tees, tee marker, etc.


The plan is to eventually offer a casual food and beverage selection at this guest service station.




For communities situated along the course, these are the changes:




Ironwoods: the Ironwoods will now look over the 16th and 17th holes


Kapalua Golf Villas: the Golf Villas will now be situated on the 4th and 5th holes, with views overlooking the 12th hole as well.


Kapalua Ridge Villas: the Ridge villas will now be situated along the 1st, 13th, 14th, and 15th holes, with views across the 18th hole


Pineapple Hill and Pineapple Hill Estates: these residential communities will now be situated along the 6th and 7th holes

The Kaanapali Coffee Farms: introducing 2132 Aina Mahiai





The Indoor-Outdoor living allows you to enjoy the sweeping ocean and outer island views


2132 Aina Mahiai: a contemporary plantation home set amidst an active coffee farm


Modern design and clean lines allow the eye to focus on the lush greenery and spectacular ocean views.  This single level home opens to a spacious lanai for indoor-outdoor living.  The Fleetwood pocketing doors in the great room open up to an expansive covered lanai featuring an outdoor barbeque, conversational fire pit, and pool with spa all perfect for enjoying Maui's sunset year-round.  This 4 bedrooms, 4 bathroom home has an ocean view master suite with an inviting outdoor shower garden.  Throughout you will find high-end finishes, appliances, and fixtures. Rich details include solid walnut cabinets, doors, and casings.  The views from this property are breathtaking, from the verdant West Maui Mountains to the East, the rolling fields of coffee, the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean and the outer islands of Molokai and Lanai.  


The Kaanapali Coffee Farms


The Kaanapali Coffee Farms is a unique offering unlike any other on Maui.  Embracing Maui's rich agricultural heritage is what makes the Kaanapali Coffee Farms truly special.  Situated on nearly 500 acres mauka of Kaanapali, is the private agricultural community comprised of 50 homesites.  Lots range from approximately 4-7 acres, each a part of an active coffee farm.  






Each lot has a &quot;Farm Dwelling Site&quot; of about one acre that is set aside for your exclusive use and development.  The zoning is agricultural and the lot sizes allow a main home as well as an ohana of 1,000 sq. ft.  The dwelling sites have been staggered to preserve views and the design guidelines give a nod to the Plantation Style of architecture.   










The remaining acreage beyond the Dwelling Sites is planted in coffee, which is tended and harvested by a team of local farmers. Coffee plants provide a verdant landscape to highlight the incredible ocean views.


The unique design of the community and relationship with Kaanapali Farm Services, Inc. allows you to live on an active farm without the labor of tending to the crops. MauiGrown Coffee, Inc. processes and markets it under contracts with the community's Association. www.MauiGrownCoffee.com

        <title>PLAY &amp; LIVE: Kapalua's Plantation Course</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
PLAY the Plantation Course


In just a few days, Kapalua will welcome golf's greatest players for the PGA Tour's Sentry Tournament of Champions.


While the golf's superheroes will play the course from January 3-7, 2018, the Plantation Course is open to mere mortals to play as well.


Both the Plantation Course and the much loved Kapalua Bay Course are open to the public.  Managed by Troon Golf, reservations to play the courses can be booked by calling 808-669-8044 or 877-527-2582.


Tomorrow, Friday, December 29, 2017 is last day of play for the course prior to the tournament, with limited tee times from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  The course closes to then prepare for the tournament, reopening to the public Monday, January 8, 2018.  The course is projected to partially reopen for play late that morning, pending an extended finish for the tournament.  


LIVE overlooking the Plantation Course


For those that don't just want to Play here on Maui, but would like to call Kapalua home, there are options to either purchase an existing home or build on one of the few remaining lots overlooking the Plantation Course in Kapalua's Plantation Estates.  The Plantation Estates was developed in two phases:  Phase I, which was comprised of 36 home sites, with 2 additional home sites added later; and Phase II, which was comprised of 14 home sites situated along the 16th fairway of the course.  A separate parcel of 80 acres that was originally part of this phase, was sold with the provision it could be further subdivided into 8 parcels.  It is situated overlooking the 5th fairway.


 


600 Honokohau, the last remaining home site in Plantation Estates Phase II


At the time of this post, there are 7 homes for sale, ranging from $4,200,000 to $15,000,000, with all built between 2001 to 2008.  Each home varies in terms of style of construction, views, and finishes, and some have ohanas (cottages of no more than 1000 sq. ft.).  Fun fact: 229 Plantation Club Drive is owned by Jim Furyk, who won the Mercedes Tournament of Champions in 2001.

Plantation Estates Lots for Sale


At the time of this post, there are currently 6 home sites for sale at the Plantation Estates.  Prices vary depending largely upon view and location, though other factors such as site work, orientation toward the sunset, wind exposure, and owner motivation play a factor in pricing as well.  For many, while it takes more effort and time to build, building allows for a newer home, customized floor plan, and more modern features.

        <title>The Sentry TOC: LIVE where the Champions Play</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Sentry Tournament of Champions: The Plantation Course, Kapalua, Maui January 3-7, 2018 


Each year, Maui welcomes the PGA Tour's best players in an invitation only Tournament of Champions. This year, the field includes a mix of familiar and new faces to the Plantation Course.





The Sentry TOC opens the calendar year for the PGA Tour on one of Hawaii's most picturesque and challenging courses.  Past winners who have qualified for this year's field include Justin Thomas, Jordan Speith, and Dustin Johnson.  While the field won't be announced until December 29th, many are looking forward to watching newcomers such as Xander Schauffele, Rookie of the Year, Cam Smith, and Kevin Kisner take on the challenge of the TOC.


Since 1999, the host organizations of the Tournament of Champions have donated nearly $6 million to a variety of Maui Community Charities--ranging from youth programs, elder care and conservation efforts. 


While a challenging walk, if on Maui, it's well worth attending the TOC to walk along the course, watch your favorite players, and take in the beauty of the Kapalua Resort.  It's not uncommon to see the cameras cut away from play to show a whale breaching off shore.


Consistently ranked the 1 Course in Hawaii (Golfweek), the Plantation Course is a favorite of professionals and amateurs alike.  Designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, the course and its surrounding homes have some of the most spectacular views in all of Kapalua.  The vantage points along the 16th and 17th holes, the highest elevation of the course, are particularly awe inspiring.  





The view from 600 Honokohau, Plantation Estates Phase II, Kapalua, Maui


The homes in the Plantation Estates positioned along the 16th, 17th and 18th holes have commanded some of the highest prices in Kapalua, with sales ranging from $7-14,000,000.  The last two vacant lots to sell on the 18th closed at $2,750,000 and $4,500,000. 


There are now just three undeveloped home sites remaining along this highly valued stretch of the Plantation Course, with two currently offered for sale:




600 Honokohau (pictured above) offered at $2,800,000


220 Plantation Club Drive offered at $4,495,000. 




600 Honokohau is a rare offering.  Perfectly situated with a South West orientation, this two acre vacant lot commands panoramic ocean, island and sunset views.  At night, the lights of the resort sparkle on the coastline.  The gated community offers privacy and this end location has only one neighbor.  A level terrain adds to its desirability.  The value lies in the location, view, the orientation (a southwest orientation is ideal as it takes in the sunset and the prevailing trade winds come from the north east) and topography.  


Currently home offerings in the Plantation Estates range from $4,200,000 to $15,000,000.  For more information on homes and lots in the Plantation Estates and to set up a private showing of any of these offerings, please contact Courtney.
