Understanding the Market

The Wailea Golf Estates ranks highly amongst the most desirable Wailea Real Estate for sale. I frequently recommend my clients to look in this neighborhood for Wailea single family homes. Every time a new residence hits the market, I am always taken back by how unique each home in the neighborhood is.

3878 Wailea Ekolu Place sold or $6.3 million

Aside from the diverse architecture, one of the neighborhood’s best features is its convenient location: central, extremely private, and gorgeous ocean views overlooking Ho’olei at Grand Wailea. The gated community boasts 61 custom residences that are encirlced entirely by the Old Wailea Blue Course.

Residents love their homes here for their safe streets, quiet Wailea nights, and friendly neighbors. I also suggest this neighborhood because of the long term investment value(s). Homes in the community represent great buys as they are constantly appreciating in value.

Although the Golf Estates entails a higher barrier to entry ($2.3Mil-$7Mil), homes in the neighborhood tend to hold their long term value, and compare very nicely to similar ones in the Kapalua area.

For a high end market, the community experienced a productive 2013. There were five homes sold for a respectable sales volume of $22,002,500; the average sales price was $4,400,500. Currently there are five active residences for sale, ranging from $3.25Mil-$6.7Mil. There is also one home currently in escrow.
