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.

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,…

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. The goal is basically to keep vacationers and other short-term visitors in the hotel districts and out of neighborhoods for various reasons ranging from crowded parking, unruly behavior, affordable housing shortage for locals, and loss of employment opportunities for hotel workers and many more. 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 ZERO Effect of COVID on the Maui Real Estate Market

Maui Real Estate

 Here is what's new and developing for the week of August 24th 2020. To see the entire Google Sheets spreadsheet please click here

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…

Maui Real Estate Closings Drop 65% in May

 

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.
