    Maui Real Estate Market February 2026 – Are Condos Stabilizing?

    The February 2026 Maui real estate market update shows a sharp contrast between weak closed sales and rising pending activity. Condo inventory remains elevated at nearly 21 months of supply, while single-family home pendings are gaining momentum. In this detailed breakdown, Lahaina Lee walks through: • Maui condo sales vs pending trends • Current Maui condo inventory (918 units) • Months of supply and what 21 months means • STR vs hotel-zoned condo activity • Maui single-family home sales and price movement • Luxury home activity ($4M+) • What these numbers mean for buyers and sellers Condo sales in January were historically low, but pending sales jumped 28%. Single-family home pendings rose 25%, suggesting cautious momentum may be building. Is the Maui housing market stabilizing? Or is inventory still in control? Watch for a full breakdown of Maui real estate data and where the market may be headed this spring. Data sourced from the Realtors Association of Maui (RAM) monthly statistics. LINK to the blog post.

    Is Maui Luxury Real Estate Crashing — or Just Normalizing?

    Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of people asking the same question: Is the Maui luxury real estate market crashing? It’s a fair question — especially if your reference point is 2021. But 2021 was an extraordinary outlier year. Sales surged, days on market collapsed, discounting nearly disappeared, and buyers moved fast. When you compare today’s market to that one year, everything since can feel like a crash. In this episode, I slow the conversation down and look at what actually happens when you zoom out and look at 10 years of data on Maui luxury single-family homes. We talk story about: Why 2021 distorted expectationsWhat a real luxury market crash would actually look likeWhy sales activity matters more than headlinesHow different price bands behave very differentlyWhat “liquidity” really means in luxury real estateWhat this market means right now for sellersAnd what it means for buyers who are paying attentionThis isn’t hype. It’s context. If you’re a current owner, thinking about selling, considering buying, or just trying to make sense of the noise, this long-form look at the data should help.  This episode focuses on luxury single-family homes only. We’ll cover luxury condos in a separate upcoming report. If you want to talk story about how this applies to your situation, feel free to reach out. Mahalo for listening.

    Maui Real Estate: A Market in Transition (This isn't 2022)

    This episode analyzes official MLS data from 2025 to understand where the Maui real estate market stands as we move into 2026. 🎧 Watch on YouTube: LINK Link to the blog with all the charts: LINK The Maui real estate market didn’t collapse in 2025, but it didn’t behave the way many expected either. Single-family homes found a fragile balance, while the condo market went through a much sharper reset. Beneath the headline numbers, the data reveals a market that is segmented, uneven, and still searching for equilibrium. This episode looks at: How single-family homes and condos performed very differently in 2025Why the market felt “stable on paper” but chaotic in practiceWhere buyers gained leverage and where sellers still held groundThe impact of inventory, pricing psychology, and quiet price correctionsHow policy decisions, insurance costs, HOA fees, and financing constraints are shaping today’s marketWhat these trends suggest as we head into 2026The takeaway is simple: this isn’t 2022 anymore. The people who understand what actually happened in 2025, beyond the headlines, will be best positioned for what comes next. If you’re buying, selling, or simply keeping a close eye on the Maui real estate market, this report is designed to provide clarity, not noise.
