The median price of a single family home on Maui went over $1,000,000 for the first time ever, in May 2021.  It's not much of a surprise since it's been up around $980,000 already a couple of times this year.

Read all about it in the Maui News.

Aloha, Georgie - I am not too surprised but it's always interesting to see price comparisons of cities.  It can definitely be an eye-opener for those looking to relocate.

Truly amazing, Georgie... but I'm not surprised to hear this. That's easily three times our median sale price in the Charlotte region.

Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089 - With median homes prices going up in every single state, I wouldn't be surprised if in the immediate future very few people will be able to buy houses. Prices have gone up substanially in my area but nothing like Maui's. I wish you continued success and happiness in all that you do.

Hi Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089 - I don't follow the Maui market much except with your posts.  But about 10 years ago, I do remember my husband looking.  I am actually surprised that the pricing is not higher.  Clients should get with you now before it goes much higher.  As everything loosens up, demand may drive prices even higher.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty It's really tough for the local people, and a lot of buyers are coming from the west coast and other states.  And of course the super rich all have properties here... second and third homes.

That's really interesting that it even took that long because now he's quite popular among Americans generally

This is good information to share. Your prices are above the budgets for many retirees who would love to move there.

Meant to say that Maui is quite popular. That was a typo. Sorry about that, Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089

I am not surprised at longer DOM for vacation homes.  It took that long for bargain hunters realize there are bargains at this price.

The family who owned 20,000 original land belong to the Sun family sold their land in the name of revolution.    

Sun went to see Joseph P Morgan to get loans for his second revolution overthrow the fat man Yuan.  JP declined.

Sam Shueh There's a long history of Chinese here on Maui, and it's very interesting, especially at that time.

Sun's brother married into the Hawaii queen's side got that much land.  Last time, we passed the old China town on a bus. Sadly to say that neighborhood turned into ruins.  All the best.
