Real Estate
As of February 4th, we have 1680 active and 242 pending listings. 12.5% under contract, which is about where we’ve been holding. Assuming this still reflects the effects of Bill 9, it’s likely the market excluding condos is doing a few points better. Rates are improving as well. This is still very low. We used to see 50%+ regularly. Both buyers and sellers need motivation in this market.
I am here to go over the 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!
