        <title>Maui's Resort Areas: a Nine Month Review of the Market</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Maui's Resort Areas: a 9 Month Review of the Market for Condos and Homes 


How the past nine months compare with the same period in the prior year


Maui has been slowly recovering in the wake of the tragic fire of August 8, 2023.  Many buyers and sellers have asked me how the market is doing, so I've compiled some data for both condominium and home sales by area comparing the period from 8/8/23-5/8/24 with the same period in 22-23.


West and South Maui Condo Sales


The statistics show that sales are down primarily in West Maui, with the condominium market in Kapalua hit the hardest, with number of sales down -66 and dollar volume down 49.  with uncertainty regarding the future of Short Term Rentals in the apartment zone, we are seeing more sales at hotel-zoned properties.  Kaanapali has more hotel-zoned properties (like Honua Kai, Whaler, Alii, and Mahana) at lower prices than Kapalua, which has the Montage Residences, Kapalua Bay and the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, which command higher sales prices.


However, while it appears that condo sales are up in Wailea &amp; Makena, and subsequently, South Maui, they are actually down -19 if you remove the new developer sales. 


It's important to note that two developments began closing in 2022-2023 (Paradise Ridge in Kihei and Makena Golf &amp; Beach Club).  In 2023-204, we continued to see new sales recording at Makena Golf &amp; Beach Club and at Lai Loa.  In the last 9 months, there were 55 sales at Lai Loa and 13 at Makena GBC.  This amounts to 60 of the Wailea/Makena condo sales.  The low sales price was $1,519,250 and the high was $13,000,000.  The total sales volume at these two complexes was $291,586,280 or 60 of the total dollar volume.  It also impacts stats such as days on market, as they typically will go under contract pre-construction.  That is why the average days on market for this period for all of Wailea/Makena is 620, but if the new development is removed, it is actually 95.


It is also important to note where we are seeing the majority of the sales activity.   In the last nine months, the bulk of the condo sales (96) in West Maui are under $3,000,000.  In fact, 62 were under $1M, 29 from $1-2M, and 5 from $2-3M.  In West Maui, there was only one sale over $5M, a Montage Residence at Kapalua Bay that closed at $12M


In South Maui those stats are a bit different due to the new developments, with 88 under $3M and 12 from $3-13M.


I expect we may see a slowing of sales in the condominium market in the next quarter, particularly in those areas not zoned hotel, on the heels of the Mayor's announcement of a bill to phase out short term rentals in apartment zones.  This affects more than 7000 properties that currently rent legally under Chapter 19.12.020 of the County Code.  Read More about the proposed legislation that is impacting Maui's Short Term Rentals

West and South Maui: Home Sales


In West Maui, 73 of the home sales were under $3M, with the largest percentage in the $1-2M range.  In South Maui, the figure was higher for homes under $3M at 84.  That said in West Maui, there were only 3 sales over $5M and in South Maui, there were 9 sales over $5M.


It is not surprising to see sales in the lower end of the market, as some of those who received insurance payouts opted to relocate.  Lower priced inventory was harder to come by and home sales ( of Sales) was down everywhere except Wailea and Makena, where sales were up 11.  In terms of Volume of sales ($) both Wailea and Makena were up, as was Napili/Kahana/Honokowai, which has more affordable housing than the resort areas of Kaanapali and Kapalua.  


It should be noted that Lahaina also includes the areas of Launiupoko and Olowalu.  The sales in Lahaina these last nine months, were largely in Launiupoko (15), though there were 2 sales up in Kelawea which were out of the burn zone.

Spotlight on Launiupoko: One of West Maui's most popular neighborhoods


What is the Launiupoko Neighborhood like?


Nestled on the picturesque slopes of West Maui, Launiupoko is an enclave of large homesites with stunning views. This idyllic community is known for its sprawling acreage, stunning ocean views, and a tranquil lifestyle that blends open space with the charm of island living. The area is zoned agricultural, providing a perfect blend of natural beauty and rural living, making it one of Maui's most sought-after locations. 


In Launiupoko, you will note the presence of many CPR &quot;Condominium Property Regime&quot; Properties.  The CPR process allows a property owner to create a minimum of two separate condominiums (most typically a main home lot and an ohana lot).  There can be additional &quot;condominiums&quot; which are for ag use only.  Read More about CPRs

Launiupoko Market Insights


Launiupoko's real estate market is one filled with nuance due to the large number of CPR'd properties. The diversity in pricing, acreage, view, and size of homes caters to a wide range of buyers. The location at the South end of West Maui is close to Launiupoko beach park.  It has some of the largest homesites in West Maui, yet is one of the closest communities to Central and South Maui, making for a shorter drive to Kahului and Wailuku.


This comprehensive snapshot of the Launiupoko real estate market highlights the variety of opportunities it offers. Whether seeking an area to farm, large acreage for a peaceful retreat or a private estate, Launiupoko has a variety of options known for their phenomenal views.



*When looking at properties in Launiupoko it is important to look at whether the property being offered is for a main home plus an ohana or the ability to build one (No CPR), or if it is for a main home only, ohana only, or farm land only.     


**While the Maui County guidelines may dictate an Ohana CPR building should be no more than 1000 sq. ft. some as builts vary and some listings include other structures that may or may not be permitted, such as a barn.

Discover Launiupoko


Nestled on the picturesque slopes of West Maui, Launiupoko is a hidden gem that offers a serene escape. This idyllic community is known for its sprawling acreage, stunning ocean views, and a tranquil lifestyle that blends open space with the charm of island living. The area is zoned agricultural, providing a perfect blend of natural beauty and rural living, making it one of Maui's most sought-after locations. 


In Launiupoko, you will note the presense of many CPR &quot;Condominium Property Regime&quot; Properties.  The CPR process allows a property owner to create a minimum of two separate condominiums (most typically a main home lot and an ohana lot).  There can be additional &quot;condominiums&quot; which are for ag use only.  Read More about CPRs

*In Launiupoko, owners have had the ability to file a CPR* (Condominium Property Regime) with the County.  This essentially creates a 2 or 3 party condominium, which would allow the building of a main home (condo A), cottage of 1000 sq. ft. (condo B) and then farm land only (condo C).  When looking at properties there, it is important to look at whether the property being offered is for a main home plus a cottage, or if it is for a main home only, cottage only, or farm land only.
