New Lahaina Bypass Approved: What It Means for West Maui Real Estate

New Lahaina Bypass Approved: What It Means for West Maui Real Estate

If you've spent any time navigating West Maui, you already know the traffic story. Getting in and out of Lahaina and Kā'anapali can feel like running a gauntlet — especially on a busy tourist day. That may be changing, and if you own or are looking to buy property in the area, you need to pay attention.

Mayor Richard Bissen recently announced a commitment of $100 million in federal disaster recovery funds to extend the Lahaina Bypass — a project West Maui residents have been pushing for years. The announcement was made at a Lahaina Community Disaster Recovery Meeting and drew cheers from the crowd. It's a significant reversal from just a year prior, when state transportation…

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, Licensed REALTOR Broker at Real Broker LLC

Aloha!

West Maui Real Estate Reality Check: Launiupoko Main Homes versus Cottages

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,…

Hawaii Fix and Flip

Hawaii Fix and Flip - An Endless Market

Many of my best clients are investors looking to buy homes or condos for both fix and flip and/or long term hold. Either way, the process and formula for doing them successfully has not changed much over the years. Buy low, keep your improvement costs under a tight budget and make sure your sold comparables support at least a 30% return on investment....with less than a 6 month hold time! If anything, the advent of non-judicial foreclosures in Hawaii has created a huge backlog of pre-foreclosures, (whereby you get a chance to negotiate with the seller who is still in charge of the property) So the market is ripe with many months, if not years of back logged inventory just sitting there ready to be found, bought,…
