One-of-a-Kind Ocean View Unit (D-212) at the Kihei Bay Vista Pictures just do not capture the full effect of the views from this picturesque one bedroom unit (MLS# 350827). If an ocean view is at the top of your list, then this unit is a must see. It has ocean views from every room! Kihei Bay [...]
Yes folks, you read that right! Actually, it was $27.9 million, but it was only 3 homes that totaled this amount…and all in 2 days. Home #1
The whales are here—at least that’s what my friends at the Pacific Whale Foundation tell me, although I’ve yet to see my first “poof.” In the next few weeks, these spectacular creatures will be leaping all over the place, putting on a show for the Kihei shoreline.
Is Maui Meadows becoming the hipper Wailea…or maybe people are tired of the association and fees? Whatever the reason, sales of million dollar plus homes have increased dramatically. First, consider what is currently in escrow. There are 3 listings in escrow priced at $1,495,000, $2,588,000, and $2,688,000. Not bad for being located in an “eclectic” [...]
So far in 2011, there have been 235 bank owned homes sales on Maui and surprisingly 6 of these have been sales over $1M! It doesn’t matter whether it’s a screaming deal or your dream home, the challenge with REO property in Hawaii is that the best ones sell fast. Really fast. In fact, for [...]
I saw some great condos for sale in South Kihei at Pacific Shores on tour today. Active Listings 1. A foreclosed/bank owned property (MLS# 349726) offered at $183,750. It’s a totally remodeled 2-bed/2-bath condo that can be used as a short term rental and comes with 2 parking stalls. Contract terms apply, as it is [...]
The following Kihei condos went into escrow last week (see video below). If you’re considering investing in South Maui (Kihei or Wailea) real estate, you’ll buy more for your money by working with an expert in the market. Kevin Spaise is the author of The Maui Condo Book, and an area specialist for Hawaii Life [...]
This home in Kihei (MLS# 349621) is a bank foreclosure and is priced below the $391,000 county assessed value, giving it a priced/assessed ratio of 94%. Ohana Potential Adds Value The property includes covenants that allow for construction of an Ohana unit. On Maui, an Ohana unit is a detached (or attached) second living quarters for [...]
Kamaole Sands—Kihei, Maui—is a resort condominium perched majestically across the street from Kamaole Beach III. A popular Kihei beach, Kamaole Beach III offers snorkeling, boogie boarding, snorkeling, and stunning ocean views.
Just Listed—Kihei, Maui oceanfront foreclosure at 1576 Halama St. on 1/3 acre sitting directly on a white sandy beach in Central Kihei. This bank owned property (MLS# 349195) is an exceptional buy, and in my opinion, is under-priced by at least a couple hundred grand. The location of this property is spectacular and I really liked the [...]
I was stunned to discover that a 2 bedroom/2.5 bathroom unit at Na Hale O Makena sold for under $1 mil. I don’t remember the last property (condo or home) located in Makena that sold for under $1 mil. So, I did a little digging to discover that during the initial offering of this complex [...]

The Hokulani Golf Villas, nestled along the slopes of Haleakala on Maui’s verdant south shore, is one of my favorite spots in all of Kihei. Although they are considered a condominium complex, they are stand alone homes. There are currently just over 50 built with two more phases to completion. The grounds wrap around the [...]
“Fore!”—Hear that shout from this Wailea Golf Vistas home site. “Fore” is usually shouted as a warning during a golf game when it appears possible that a golf ball may hit other players or spectators. The mention of the term in an 1881 British Golf Museum indicates that the term was in use at least [...]
