- Maui home sales slowed significantly in April: Single-family home sales dropped to 49 transactions (-30% year over year) as buyer activity softened across much of the island.
- Condo sales improved despite pricing pressure: Maui condos recorded 70 sales (+13% YoY), though the median condo price declined to $651,250 (-32% YoY) as buyers remained highly price-sensitive.
- South Maui homes shifted back toward a seller’s market: Residential sales in South Maui continued to outpace new listings for the second consecutive month, signaling tightening inventory in one of Maui’s most desirable resort regions.
- Demand slowed entering summer 2026: A noticeable decline in new escrows during April suggests softer near-term demand as mortgage rates, tourism fluctuations, and broader economic uncertainty continue to impact the Maui housing market.
Welcome back to your monthly Maui Real Estate Update for April 2026. Maui’s housing market showed signs of slowing in April, with single-family home sales declining 30% compared to April 2025 to 49 transactions, while the median price held within recent ranges at $1,290,000 (-26% YoY). In contrast, the condo segment saw a modest increase in activity, with 70 sales (+13% YoY), though pricing remained adjusted at $651,250 (-32% YoY). While closed sales reflect prior months, a noticeable slowdown in new escrows during April signals a shift in near-term demand. As the market moves into the summer months, rising mortgage rates, broader geopolitical uncertainty, along with factors such as weather patterns and fluctuations in tourism throughout March and April, will all play a role in shaping overall market performance.
April 2026 Maui Real Estate Update by Region
As you can see on the map above, both activity and prices were down nearly across the board on Maui in April 2026. Some of the most notable drops were for single-family homes is our traditionally local residential markets in Central Maui, on the North Shore, and Upcountry. All three of these regions saw total sales drop by over 40%. If we remove one outlier sale in Pukalani, then all three of these regions also saw a decrease in median sales price. In fact the median sales price in Haiku dropped below $1 million for the first time in years!
Highlighting South Maui and West Maui
Let’s take a closer look at the island’s resort areas. In a continuation with last months numbers, new listings were down nearly across the board (the exception being single-family homes in West Maui). And check out what now appears to be a trend within the residential market in South Maui: total sales were continued to eclipse the new listings, a reversal of February 2026 when there were 20 new listings and 9 total sales. As I mention in our last report, this ratio would put this sector back squarely in the seller’s market realm, an interesting development indeed. The condo market in South Maui and West Maui has appeared to begin to stabilize a bit after the precipitous plummet following the proposal of Bill 9 nearly 2 years ago. Both those subsectors tallied 128 median days on market .
April 2026 Maui Residential Update
Single-family home activity slowed in April, with 49 total sales (-30% YoY), reflecting reduced transaction volume across several regions. The median price of $1,290,000 (-26% YoY) remained within the broader range of recent months, though influenced by the luxury segment which had no closings above $5 million during the month. Regionally, South Maui continued to account for a significant share of activity (39% of total sales), while other areas experienced softer activity, contributing to the overall decline. The combination of lower volume and rising days on market points to a more selective
buyer pool.
April 2026 Maui Condominium Update
The condo market showed modest improvement in activity during April, with 70 sales (+13% YoY), though pricing remained under pressure, with the median price at $651,250 (-32% YoY). Median days on market increased to 132 days, reflecting a slower pace as buyers take more time to evaluate options. While renewed demand remains present, the segment continues to be price-sensitive, with activity concentrated among well-positioned and competitively priced units.
