Market Activity

Activity in the Wailea and Makena residential markets for July was essentially non existent, as there were no homes closed in the month. However, a slow month in the market shouldn’t be much to worry about, because the market tends to fluctuate in cyclical patterns. For example, even though there were no closings, there were four homes that entered the pending stage of the buying process. The four homes that went pending are all in the neighborhood of Kai Malu; and while the community can also be classified as condominiums, for the purpose of this article (and the condo report for July), Kai Malu will be referred to as residential.

Homes in the Pending Phase

Pending, 52 Kai La PL or Unit 21-A, listed for $1,055,000

Pending, 130 Kainui PL or 66-B, listed for $1,225,000

Pending, 46 Kainehe PL or 4-A, listed for $1,400,000

Pending, 155 Kai La PL or 6-B, listed for $1,595,000

Essentially everywhere on the property boasts dramatic, unmatched panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Kahoolawe and Molokini. There is no where to hide from the natural beauty and splendor of this unspoiled paradise (not that you’d ever want to). This home is a perfectly positioned private sanctuary and it’s location along the water easily stimulates all five human senses. Watch and listen to the waves crash on the jagged coastline. Feel the refreshing ocean winds massage your body. And when the Pacific is really alive, usually around the Summer months, you can actually taste and smell the salt in the air as it evaporates on the rocks and shoreline. Enjoy stunning year-round sunsets, and during the Winter, the companionship of Maui’s largest part-time residents, the glorious Humpback Whales.

The huge lanais, together with a pool and hot tub, exemplifies seamless indoor and outdoor living. Backed by thousands of acres of undeveloped Maui ranch land to the east, and miles and miles of ocean to the west, this is a true Hawaiian dream setting. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, paddle boarding and kayaking just steps outside the privacy of this villa. The resort lifestyle is also nearby, with world-class hotels, golf, tennis, shopping and fine dining only minutes away. Given the size, exquisite location, and quality of craftsmanship, this is a rare opportunity.
