Aloha! And welcome to another weekly Maui Real Estate Market Watch Report from Eric West at Keller Williams in Whalers Village.

The big question people ask me every week…”How’s the market doing on Maui?” Many people are expecting a major downturn in demand and subsequent 20-50% reductions in asking prices.
Not so much.
In a nutshell, the Maui Real Estate Market is holding steady, very steady.
Let’s compare the last 8 months of 2020 with the exact same time period in 2019.
Now keep in mind, in 2019 the market was in FULL swing with a FULL capacity

If you are curious about the effect of COVID on the Maui Real Estate market in the month of June 2020, check out this comprehensive report
We had another 26 price reductions averaging 7% and a total dollar discounting of just under $2M. This is quite a bit lower than what have been seeing during this Coronoa Virus time period. The two most notable reductions came from 3806 Lower Honoapiilani Rd with a $251,000 reduction in price
Aloha! The Maui Real Estate market is interesting to say the least. New Listings have decreased 15.5% for Single Family homes and 18.8% for Condominium homes. So inventory could in fact become even leaner than it was pre-COVID. And "Days on Market" increased 13.3 percent for Single Family homes and 28.7 percent for Condominium homes. Buyers have been quicker to return to the housing market in force than sellers, who have been showing a bit more reluctance to list their homes than is typical for this time of year. But trends are improving and as states and localities continue to moderate their COVID-19 policies, real estate activity is expected to continue to improve in the coming weeks.

As the Maui Real Estate market continues to improve, finding truly "good deals" is becoming tougher. One of the best markets to look for that "diamond in the rough"? The foreclosure, bank-owned and short sale space. Although these are not always tried and true "good deals" it's a great place to start. (Scroll Down to See Every Deal on the Market today!)
My advice to you? Still run the numbers (they usually don't lie) Also, make sure to have a very thorough property inspection (including termite and structural)
Here's something VERY important that WON'T turn up in the usual inspection process? Potential zoning or permit violations. Maui County is rampant with many of these "sitting duck" properties just waiting to get caught in a myriad of
