The Kapalua Golf Villas: Market Spotlight

Introducing four spectacular new listings at the Kapalua Golf Villas!

The Kapalua Golf Villas is home to me--I've lived here for the last seven years, and love the proximity to restaurants, the walking/hiking trails, beaches, and even though I don't play (because I'm horrible at it), golf.  

The Golf Villas enjoy a sheltered location, oriented to the West and South West overlooking the Bay Course.  This means that the villas tend to be out of the prevailing trade winds, and have amazing sunset views. Depending on the building's orientation, you may find views of Lanai, Molokai, and of course, the golfers making their way up the 10th fairway and back home to the clubhouse on 18.

Maui Real Estate Market Overview and Statistics | 2015

One of the questions I'm asked most frequently, particularly by Sellers, is where do buyers of Maui properties originate?  There is often a misperception that the majority of our foreign buyers come from Asia.  While this might be true for Oahu's market (particularly Honolulu), it hasn't been the case for Maui County, which includes the islands of Molokai and Lanai. 

When looking for this information, I turn to Title Guaranty, one of Hawaii's most reputable Title and Escrow Companies, for their market research.  As you can see, the bulk of purchases made by foreign buyers of Maui real estate were Canadian, with 80 transactions in 2015, compared with only 3 from Japan, and none from China.
