West Maui Real Estate Statistics – November 2021

Home » Maui Real Estate Market » West Maui Real Estate Statistics – November 2021
December 17, 2021

The real estate business in Maui is going strong during this last quarter of 2021 compared to last year. It is attributed to the improving economy and recovering from the big impact of unemployment. The buyers’ demand remains high but not as much as the other months because people are now planning how to celebrate Christmas or travel to some places with their families. Two reasons that bolstered this demand were the attractive rates of mortgage and low inventory supply.

The median sales price movement for both condominium and single home properties increased in November. Single-family homes price went up to $1,000,000 from $873,750 (14% growth) while the condominium homes soared to $725,000 per unit or 33% from last year’s $545,000.

The massive movements were recorded in West Maui and South Maui demonstrating a double-digit price growth despite the challenges that include shortage of available lands, supply chain, and labor force. The positive outlook of Maui real estate was further strengthened by the increase of new construction to 83 according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/ Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). It was the highest since Spring.

General Maui Real Estate Market Overview

This 2021, the real estate market of Maui is more active compared to last year. While the pandemic is not yet over, the new listings and pending sales have shown a significant increase. Other key metrics are also showing positive performance. Generally, today’s atmosphere favors the sellers because the low number of homes for sale drives the price of the existing properties upward on the market. The pendulum may soon swing to favor the buyers and lower the market value of condominiums and residential homes, but it remains to be seen when that will be.
