Real Estate
As of December 18th, we have 1,651 active and 234 pending listings. 12.4% under contract, which is about where we’ve been holding. After a deeper dive in consideration of Bill 9, the condo numbers are skewing the total.
Bill 9 on Maui addresses the conversion of short-term rentals in apartment-zoned buildings to long-term rentals, aiming to increase the availability of housing for local residents. This measure overturns the Minatoya Ruling, which previously allowed short-term rentals in certain Maui apartment-zoned properties. The bill has sparked mixed reactions—some community members support it as a step toward easing the housing crisis, while others are concerned about its impact on property values and the rental market.
We are seeing these effects. The numbers for condos look bleaker than the general market. We currently have 99 condos under contract and 905 active. Only 9.8% condos are under contract causing many sellers to take drastic price measures.
If we look at the numbers outside of condos, we have 135 pending and 746 active for 15.3%. This may be a better sense of the market excluding Bill 9 influence. Rates are improving as well.
