Being a second generation REALTOR, I have witnessed our market go through several major cycles since the early 1980s, but have never seen anything like this current market over the past few months,
Maui’s single family home average sales price eclipsed $1M dollars for 3 consecutive months this summer, and is continuing to gain momentum.
While there are less transactions being done now compared to the Springtime, this is simply because there are so few homes for sale at the moment.
July’s official median price, according to the Realtors Association of Maui, came in at $1.050M compared to June’s all-time high of $1.170M. This is an increase of about 35% year over year compared to June of 2020. With May’s median sales price of $1.010M, this summer’s 3 consecutive historic highs are the highest 3 on record since our local association started keeping track in the early 1990s.
With all the recent record setting prices in Hawaii, it’s prudent to remember that timing any market is pretty much impossible. That goes for the stock and equities markets as well as the real estate market. While Maui has many secure factors going for it that will likely prevent a major market correction, you just never know what the future has in store. All of the recent wildfires on the west coast US are driving many buyers to the Hawaiian Islands seeking better air quality and overall security for their families. If I had to guess, I think our overall inventory of total properties for sale will continue to decrease, and prices will continue to increase over the next 18 months before eventually plateauing. Time will tell.
