We are getting the same question almost daily:
“Are we in a buyer’s market now?”
The short answer? Not quite — but we’re closer than we’ve been in years.
Inventory in West Maui has increased since last year. Days on market are longer. Buyers are negotiating again, something we haven’t seen much of since 2020.
But here’s what hasn’t changed:
✔️ Prime locations still move
✔️ Well-priced homes still sell
✔️ Emotional buyers still compete for ocean views
The difference is leverage.
Buyers have more time to think.
More room to negotiate.
More options to compare.
Sellers, on the other hand, need precision. Pricing strategy matters more now than it has in a decade.
The frenzy is gone. The opportunity is not.
If you’re considering buying or selling in West Maui this year, understanding micro-neighborhood dynamics matters more than headlines.
Real estate isn’t national. It’s Hyper-Local.
Question for you: Are you seeing more opportunity or more hesitation in the market right now?
