Maui 2018 condo sales on a year-to-date basis have increased by 22% from 2017, while Kaanapali Shores sales have increased by 15%. Maui condo median sale prices have risen by 4.2%. Kaanapali Shores prices seem to be increasing, but it’s difficult to compare since there are so many different floor plans and some are leasehold. Months’ supply of Maui condo inventory in June 2018 was 4.2 compared to 6.3 in June 2017. Overall demand is strong and supply is low.
The Fed recently increased interest rates by .25 percent, and expectations are for rates to continue on an upward trend in the next year. The Maui single family homes inventory is down by 18.3% from last year, but single family home prices for sold properties have actually decreased by 2.1% on a year-to-date basis. Median home prices are now $727, 500, compared to median condo prices at $515,000. Some buyers are looking at condos for the affordability and availability when they would prefer single family homes.
Economic experts are predicting a pricing trend of 4-5% increases in the next year or so, with a predicted slow down due to lack of inventory and affordability. It’s still a great time to sell if you are thinking of doing a tax-free 1031 exchange or moving up to a higher priced property or a property in a different location. We can help!
