Maui Real Estate Market Statistics: July, 2021

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

Along with the rest of the country, Maui's real estate market has been far more active than last year during the pandemic.  The number of sales has increased dramatically across all market sectors--homes, condos and land.  The median price has increased as well, in part spurred by oceanfront home and resort sales.  We are seeing fewer condominium sales than we did in July. However, it should be noted that inventory is down dramatically.

Maui Real Estate Market Statistics: June 2021

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

Along with the rest of the country, Maui's real estate market has been far more active than last year during the pandemic.  The number of sales has increased dramatically across all market sectors--homes, condos and land.  The median price has increased as well, in part spurred by oceanfront home and resort sales.

The days on market is down for both homes and land, but is up for land, which tends to be a slower-moving market on the whole, as it doesn't allow immediate use and enjoyment and the building process does take time.

Maui Property Taxes 2021-2022 Update

Maui Property Taxes 2021-2022
Changes: Classifications & Rates

Each year, Maui County does two things: assesses the value of the property AND sets new rates for the upcoming fiscal year, which runs from July 1st-June 30th.  Also of note is the passing of Bill 129 (effective 2022) which provides an exemption for properties being rented long term and Bill 130 (effective 2021) which changes definitions relating to Non-Owner Occupied properties and Short-Term Rental classifications.

How do you calculate your property taxes given the new tiered system?

Fidelity National Title put together this helpful video when the new tiered system was introduced in 2020.
