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.

By Eric West 

Architecture that dissolves into horizon lines. Breezes that carry the ocean indoors. The rarest properties are still rare—just newly negotiable. For charts behind this story, see MauiRealEstateStats.com.

In every enduring market, quality leads the recoveries. Maui is no different. Across the island, the homes that matter—oceanfront sanctuaries, newly completed architecture, view-rich golf estates—are whispering again.

Maui Real Estate, Ocean Lifestyle, And Aloha Spirit

Aloha from Maui! I’m Eric West of HawaiiRealEstate.org, your trusted Maui Real Estate Agent. This is your digital “Maui Fix”—a taste of salt air and sunset light, and a grounded look at why Maui Real Estate is more than property. It’s lifestyle, investment, and a story you can live inside.

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. On this Aloha Friday, I set up on the beach as the sun melted into the horizon. Behind me, the West Maui Mountains glowed. In front, surfers traced lines across swells that traveled thousands of miles to arrive here.

Maui Short Term Vacation Rentals - Condos and Homes

Investment Pitfalls and The Minatoya List

This is a hot topic across the entire vacation rental market worldwide and Maui is no exception.

Threats to reassess properties for tax purposes at sky-high commercial rates can discourage homeowners from investing in short term rental properties.  According to a recent poll over 55% of Maui residents oppose short term rentals in their neighborhoods. But all is not…

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.

Maui Real Estate for Sale in the “New Age” of COVID

How to Find the RIGHT Real Estate Deal on Maui 

Information is power. We all know that. But with all of the “tech tools” and everything available to everyone online, how can anyone get a competitive edge? Not to mention a true understanding of what is really happening in the real estate market in Hawaii in order to make wise and prudent decisions?

(Just because a buyer or a real estate agent uses or shows up on Redfin, Zillow or Trulia on Maui does not make you or them an expert...just sayin')

Especially given the new set of never before seen circumstances of a global pandemic such as COVID!

The answer is threefold.
