What’s Happening in Maui Real Estate?
The first quarter of 2026 brought the first meaningful signs of a market shift after an extended period of rebalancing. Here is what the latest data shows:
Single-family homes are seeing improving absorption. Closed sales for Q1 2026 totaled 176, up 12.8% year-over-year, and months supply of absorption has been on a gradual downward trend since late last year, reaching 7.6 months in March. The market still favors buyers, but the direction appears to be shifting.
Condo prices continue to recalibrate, but demand signals are improving. The Q1 YTD condo median is $699,000, down 12.1% year-over-year, reflecting continued pressure from elevated inventory and Bill 9 uncertainty. At the same time, pending sales are up 17.1% for the quarter and the affordability index has improved 26% year-over-year. The deterioration is decelerating.
Kihei and Wailea/Makena remain the most active submarkets. Kihei led the island in transaction volume across both property types in Q1. Wailea/Makena condo activity is up 16.7% year-over-year, with buyers engaging at recalibrated prices.
Bill 9 remains the defining regulatory factor for condos. Any buyer considering a condo purchase on Maui should understand the zoning status of the specific property, its status relative to the Minatoya List, and HOA health before making any decisions. Due diligence here is not optional.
Days on market remain elevated. Single-family homes are averaging 153 days on market and condos 149 days year-to-date. Sellers who price accurately from day one are the ones closing.
