Maui Real Estate Statistics: September 2022

Each month, the Realtor's Association of Maui publishes updates on the Maui real estate market.  The report notes

"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."

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.
