How high can the Maui real estate market go? Last month was another record for the Valley Isle as the median sales prices reach new highs for both single-family homes and condos. While the number of total sales remained steady, the declining number of new listings continues to put pressure on an already tight housing market. Even with mortgage interest rates above 5%, demand remains strong among buyers.
Key Figures:
- Change in number of closed sales: -30.9%
- Change in median sales price: +17.6%
- Change in number of total properties sales: -41.4%
April Maui Single Family Home Sales
Since April 2021, the median sales price of single-family homes has increased by $259,000 (26%), while total sales were down 19% year over year. Demand remains strongest in the notable residential areas of Haiku, Kihei, and Wailuku. With 21 more sales than new listings, months of remaining inventory slipped to an all-time low of 1.9 months as homes are currently selling just 65 days across the island.
April Maui Condo Sales
Compared to this time last year, total condo sales declined by 33% from 258 to 177 in April 2022. With limited supply, condos set a record high for the second month in a row as median sales prices reached $820,000 led by the luxury condo markets of Kapalua, Kaanapali, and Wailea. With lower price points than single-family homes and backed by a strong demand for vacation rentals, expected the trend to continue.
