Anything Else This Weekend or Next?
I am always looking to promote other weekend activities for Maui organizations. If we are missing anything, drop me a line any time for future happenings. Mahalo!!!
Real Estate
The uptick in pendings seems to be holding and latest numbers we are up to 12.8%. As of September 24, we have 1559 active listings and 229 pending. Rates are improving and I am getting more inquiries so that is an optimistic sign.
Anticipated interest rate cuts would make mortgages more affordable, potentially boosting buyer demand and creating renewed momentum in Maui’s real estate market. Lower rates may also encourage sellers and investors to re-enter the market, with positive ripple effects across local businesses and the broader island economy.
The future of vacation rentals remains uncertain. Lenders, investors, property owners, sellers, buyers, as well as businesses such as restaurants, farmers, cleaning services, landscapers, and activity providers—all sectors across Maui—will be impacted. I’ve persevered and navigated the local market, helping Buyers and Sellers alike. If you have questions, I am your real estate resource.
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!
Kula I’o 15 acres. 7+ acres buildable area offers lots of options.
