“What a year!” sums up 2020. I just don’t have the words on so many levels. Even in Maui Real Estate- who knew the market would bounce back after the lockdown. Unpredictable, unprecedented! All I can say is that activity is up, escrows are up and prices are still rising. Before I continue on with this report I would like to take a moment to say I hope we all have a better 2021 and that I truly hope you and yours are safe and healthy..
For December 2020
From Realtor’s Association of Maui: December is normally one of the slower months of the year (people are typically more focused on the holidays, sun, surf) and things would start to pick up by 2nd week of January, but strong buyer demand across most segments of the market, buoyed by near-record low interest rates, continue to drive a healthy sales pace in the face of a new wave of COVID-19 infections and a softening jobs market.

According to Realtors Association of Maui: With low mortgage rates and strong buyer demand in most market segments, the housing market of early 2021 looks to continue the trends we saw in the second half of 2020. Low inventory and multiple offers on in demand properties and market segments are likely to remain common while the market waits and hopes for a boost in new construction and a surge in home sellers to help provide more balance to the market.
