The Maui Real Estate Market Update – September 2025

Data current through September 2025 from the REALTORS® Association of Maui (RAM). For full charts and monthly PDFs, visit MauiRealEstateStats.com.

The rhythm of the Maui real estate market has shifted from sprint to stride. Inventory is deeper, timelines are longer, and strategy matters again. Year-to-date, closed sales across all property types are down about 19% while the island’s overall median price—just over the one-million-dollar mark—has eased roughly 13% from last year. Listings now average about 140 days on market, and most sellers are closing near 95% of list—proof that negotiations are back, but demand hasn’t disappeared.

Maui’s Vacation Rental Ban Bill 9 Hearing Postponed Again!

Maui’s Vacation Rental Ban Bill 9 Hearing Postponed Again! Update October 2025

By Eric West | Maui Real Estate Update | October 2025

If you’re about to scoop up a Maui vacation rental condo for the best price you’ve seen in the last five years, be sure to send a thankyou email to Mayor Richard Bissen, West Maui Councilmember Tamara Paltin, and of course the cash flush, fine folks at Lahaina Strong because nobody has done more to crash the market than this trio of “housing heroes.”

And oh yeah, in the process, they have not (nor will they ever) create one single affordable home on Maui from this abominaton of an idea.  Just  junk waves of economic destruction....that nobody wants to…

Launiupoko, Two Markets In One: Main Homes vs. Cottages After 8/8/23

A clean, numbers-first look at Launiupoko Homes For Sale since the Lahaina fire—separating A-parcel “main homes” from B-parcel “cottage” units—to help serious buyers and sellers act with confidence in West Maui real estate.

Launiupoko is quietly two markets. The A-unit (often called the “main home” parcels) tends to carry larger architecture, swimming pools, and broad view sheds. The B-unit (the “cottage” parcel) is typically capped in living area by agricultural rules—historically about 1,000 sq. ft. and, under recent county changes, now up to 1,500 sq. ft. for the second farm dwelling—creating a distinct price and demand curve. That split matters. It explains why,…

The Call Of The Ocean

Maybe you remember pressing a seashell to your ear as a kid, sure you could hear the ocean. On Maui, that sound is everywhere.
