The real estate climate in West Maui is consistently improving as the new normal sets in across the United States and the vaccination rates rise.  The first two quarters of 2021 showed an uptick in activities in the market. Compared to 2019 and 2020 stats, the home sales for the first six months were 33.4% during the same period. The report published by the Realtors Association of Maui (RAM) also showed more than 80% increase in condo sales than the same period of 2020.

For homeowners affected by the pandemic, the recent announcement of the White House to provide assistance to those facing property foreclosure issues through payment reduction and loan modification also brought a positive note in the industry. HUD is offering a 25% reduction on the principal loan and interest to qualified borrowers who don’t have the capability to resume their monthly mortgage. Those with federally backed mortgages have an option to extend the mortgage period or lock in lower rates of interest.
