According to recent statistics released by the Realtors Association of Maui, the median sales price increased by around 20 percent compared to last year for condominium homes on the island to about $515,000.
The latest findings that compare the real estate market on Maui each month over a year-to-year period say this is a sign of a healthy housing market that is expected to stay strong throughout the summer of 2018.
And while the cost of condominium homes seem to have improved this summer, the sales and overall cost of single-family homes both experienced a decrease compared to the same time last year. According to the recent report, pending sales for single-family homes decreased by around 18 percent and the median sales price decreased by around 1.7 percent to $727,500.
New listings for both of the single-family home and condominium markets decreased during June 2018 compared to June 2017, with single family homes dropping by 28 percent and condominium homes decreasing by 32 percent. Real estate property inventory also saw a drop, with an 18.3 percent decrease for single family homes and a 24 percent decrease for condominium homes. However, the latest report also states that there should be an increase in housing supply by the end of summer as new housing developments are underway. Stay tuned for more.
The report also found that the overall days on the market for single-family homes decreased by 4.7 percent compared to last year and increased by 10 percent for condominium homes. A months supply of inventory decreased by nearly 16 percent for single-family homes and by 33.3 percent for condominium homes.
