In this March edition of the Maui Real Estate Advisor market report, Lahaina Lee breaks down what really happened in February—and what it means for buyers and sellers right now.

After a slow start to the year and a month impacted by major Kona Low storms, the condo market showed meaningful signs of recovery, with a sharp rise in both closed and pending sales. Pricing also bounced back, suggesting renewed momentum—though inventory remains high and buyers still hold the advantage.

Meanwhile, the single-family home market tells a more complex story. Despite increasing pending sales, closed transactions declined and prices softened, pointing to activity concentrated more in the core market than the luxury segment.

With elevated inventory across the board, Maui continues to favor buyers—but shifting demand signals could shape the months ahead.

If you’re watching the market, considering a move, or waiting for the right opportunity, this update gives you a clear, data-driven view of where things stand now—and where they may be headed next.

If you own a condo on Maui, your property tax assessment notice will arrive soon — and many owners are asking the same question:

If condo prices dropped in 2025, why might property taxes still be high in 2026?

In this episode of the Maui Real Estate Advisor podcast, Lahaina Lee explains how Maui County property tax assessments actually work and why the system often runs 9–18 months behind the real estate market.

You’ll learn:

• How Maui County calculates property tax assessments
• Why condo assessments sometimes look wrong
• Why 2026 tax values may still reflect the 2024 price surge
• How the Maui property tax timeline works
• When condo owners should consider filing an appeal
