Spring Listings at Wailea Ekahi
Wailea Ekahi 43B was just brought to market last week and is sprinkled with upgrades throughout while other parts of the unit has been left original. Offering a total of 885 sqft, 1 bedroom, and 2 bathrooms, the unit is an open concept layout with tile through most of the unit which makes easy maintenance. There is a built in murphy bed in the living room that is ideal for accommodating guests or for adding extra sleeping room if rented out as a short term rental.
With an outdoor lanai off of the main living room of the unit, the large glass doors allow for plenty of natural light and a seamless flow of indoor and outdoor space. The unit is booked pretty solid, so it might tough to get in for a showing; on the other hand, the strong rental demand is a good sign for buyers.

Spring Closings at Wailea Ekahi
Wailea Ekahi 37D was an upstairs unit with vaulted ceilings that made the unit live a lot larger than the 952 sqft the floor plan lists. Upgraded with 3 different remodels over the years in 1999, 2011, and 2017, they have all been able to create a seamless blend of different designs. Building 37 is on the north side of the complex, perched above the rest of the units with great views from its higher elevation. The unit was owner occupied since 1985, so there was minimal wear and tear over the years.
The unit was listed in early September of last year in the mid 800’s and underwent 1 price reduction before it garnered some serious interest. The unit sold for $90k under asking at a final close price of $760,000 after a 4 week escrow.
Although the pictures of Wailea Ekahi 42B are of not the best quality, do not be fooled by what they indicate. This unit has also been owner occupied for its entire time and has not undergone any renovations over its 40+ years; pride of ownership is evident as it has been meticulously cared for. The lack of wear and tear of the years is due to its non existent use as a vacation rental. The biggest draw of the unit is the oversized lanai of 228 sqft which adds 20% more of living area.
Listed early this year in January, the unit only needed 5 days before it was able to enter escrow. The unit even sold for above asking at $800,000 flat.
