Real Estate
As of April 16th, we have 244 pending listings out of 1676 for 12.7% under contract. Seem to be settling back in the 12.5% territory. The stall in rate reductions and storms that hit over March probably slowed things down a bit. Hopefully we will see it come back up closer to 15% again real soon.
It is still a great time for buyers to find realistic sellers.
I am here to go over latest figures and discuss your plans for Real Estate on Maui.
I have been busy working on a project that will be coming to market soon. 20 acres of ocean view organic farmland in Waiehu! I’m so excited to share Kuawa Olu with you all. Stay tuned!
