Maui Real Estate Market Update for 2013

LIVING THE DREAM…ONE DAY AT A TIME

As we enter the new year, I wanted take some time to reflect on what’s happened in the Maui Real Estate market in 2013.  We all have so much to be grateful here on Maui.  Everyday I wake up and look at Haleakala and see the unparalleled beauty that Maui offers, I fell truly blessed.  It’s been an amazing year 🙂

Numbers Are Deceiving

The Maui Real Estate market is on a positive growth trend, and the feeling across the island is that we’re in for a bountiful year in 2014. Relative to other parts of the island, I can tell you that the Wailea Real Estate and Makena Real Estate markets are leading the pack and moving full steam ahead.  It’s an exciting time for our local economy.

Looking at the numbers in retrospect, year-to-date home prices rose significantly, and are expected to continue to grow. From a Maui seller’s perspective, there have been increased showings and multiple attractive offers on “well priced” properties. The way the market is shaping up, hesitant buyers will surely become onlookers as the deals will continue to fly off the shelves. Windows of opportunity for first time home buyers can be relatively limited due to increased demand, so its crucial that buyers are be pre-approved before making offers in this market.

Mortgage Interest Rates are rising which may help Buyers who are “on the fence” to go ahead and buy if they can qualify. Savvy real estate investors are buying with cash to alleviate certain variables. While general U.S. economic news looks quietly hopeful, current World and US events will have ripple effects on cost of living, consumer confidence, Financial and Real Estate Markets.
However, Hawaii’s economy is continuing to grow. With Hawaii’s busiest tourist season about to hit full swing, we can expect more visitors flocking to the isles.
