Maui Real Estate Watch

No question the Covid-19 / Corona Virus Hawaii lockdown has created some softening in the market - translation? 

Better deals for buyers!

Although last week DID see another $63M in sales transactions from 86 closings. Likely those deals went under contract prior to the shutdown. I don' think we've seen the full impact on closings yet. The largest closings were 0 Haneoo Rd in Hana for $2.8M and 320 South Ulukoa at $2.75M.

 

We also had 21 price reductions over 3% for an average of 9% and a total dollar volume of $5.3M for the past week. Please see the Google Sheets spreadsheet below or link here for all of the detail.

DIY Face Mask with Filter in Under 10 Seconds

 

Aloha! Have you been wondering how to make a DIY face mask? Me too.

After watching about all of the top videos on YouTube on "How to Make a Face Mask" I decided to make my own.

One that even guys can understand and execute quickly.....like in an emergency. Hello, this is NOT TIME for fancy patterns, going to the store to buy materials and/or sewing some home economics arts and crafts BS.

This is a global pandemic. Protecting you and your family from COVID19 aka the Corona Virus requires real solutions that really work, really fast.

The others mask tutorials that I tried were very time consuming. Not to mention difficult (if not impossible) to create a tight seal with the flimsy (and hard to…

Honua Kai

Condos For Sale and Property Management

Almost fours years ago I made this review video about the Honua Kai Resort and Spa.

Since then I have met talked to and met many people who agree that this property remains one of the best, if not THE best, performing short term vacation rentals in all of West Maui Real Estate Market. And now, with the almost completely constructed Luana Garden Villas (Completion Fall 2020) the final piece is in place on this crowning West side destination resort. 

But like any business venture there are downsides. And the sooner they are discovered the sooner they can be mitigated to avoid costly mistakes and maximize your return on investment.

Three things to Consider:

1) Keeping your unit fresh…

Puamana Condos for Sale and Best Property Management

OK, so you are thinking about buying a unit at one of my ALL TIME favorite vacation rentals and ocean front communities in ALL OF MAUI.

Excuse me, Puamana BEACH front (well sometimes it's there and sometimes it not.....I know) I usually paddle down from Puamana Beach Park to check out the scene with the sand!

Or you already own a Puamana Unit (Lucky You!) and need a new property management company. Whether you are already using AIRBNB or VRBO for Puamana, you still need a management company that will work extra hard for you and not charge a penny over 25%!

Either way, I can help.

You see, I am a HUGE fan of Puamana. I used to live on Front Street and secretly fantasized about living in…

What if There Are NO Lanikeha Homes For Sale?

That's actually very possible. Since this is a very new neighborhood, only 48 have been built so far. In that case, you will need to purchase some land for sale at Lanikeha and build your dream home! Then the big question becomes "Who Do I Hire as the Builder" Naturally you will want to find the best builder in Lanikeha. That combination of reputable and reasonably priced (ie does not OVER charge!) is tough to find. Call me at 808-298-2030 and I will be happy to give you my top three suggested builders in the Lanikeha neighborhood. (Be sure to watch the video below of my full neighborhood tour with aerial drone video, smooth hyper time lapses of every street, and a tour of the Lanikeha clubhouse)
