Newest Listings at Sugar Beach Resort
Ground Floor: Sugar Beach Resort 127
Listed in the first week of July, Sugar Beach Resort 127 is a truly remarkable and rare opportunity to get into a ground floor unit at one of Kihei’s best beachfront complexes! Bordering Maui longest stretch of beach, Sugar Beach is the ideal lifestyle for all water oriented activities. The unit has been lightly remodeled in the kitchen with granite counter tops and laminate floors throughout.
While a neat 1 bedroom, 1 bath, and 613 sqft layout, the unit is all about the beachfront access. Offering a 96 sqft lanai off the back of the living area, the doors can be opened to create one seamless indoor/outdoor living arrangement. The unit is under very strong rental demand, so interested parties must act soon.
Listed at $710,000
Just one story up from the Sugar Beach Resort listing above, Sugar Beach Resort 217 is also a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 613 sqft unit with the exact layout as many of the other units in the complex. Upgraded just last year, the new features include: granite counter tops, new tile in the bathroom, and laminate oak floors. The parking spot is on the upper level, so going back and forth is easy with no need for stairs or elevator.
Although maintenance fees are steep, they include: electricity including AC, basic cable, trash, water and sewer, insurance on the grounds and buildings and maintenance of the pool, common areas and buildings.
The 2nd floor view from the unit is a major perk and is the ideal spot for catching views of the humpback whales during the winter.
List price of $699,500
Sugar Beach Market Update 2018
Sugar Beach Resort has experienced a decent year, but is nowhere near the same production as the same point in 2017; 2018 sales are trailing 2017 by 50%, however, markets can pick up at any moment and it isn’t atypical to see a Kihei condo complex pick up most of its sales in a short time frame. 75% of the sales so far have been able to close within 9 months of coming to the market, while only 1 has need more than a 1 year to find the right buyer. All 4 of the units sold this year have been 1 bedroom units.
Buyers favor Sugar Beach Resort because of its relatively low barrier to entry vs its beachfront location. Move this complex down 5 or 6 miles into the heart of Kihei and these units would be going for $1+ million easily. In terms of price/sqft, it seems like buyers are not getting a good value but that’s only because the units are on the smaller side. Buyers on average should expect to pay around $1000/sqft, but can sometimes get into the complex for around $800-$900/sqft.
The market has seen a 75/25 split with sales prices in the $600k & $500k range.
