Aloha — Lahaina Lee here.

April 2026 Maui real estate numbers are in, and the condo and home markets are telling very different stories.

In this episode of the Maui Real Estate Advisor Podcast, we break down:
• Maui condo inventory climbing to nearly 13 months of supply
• Why buyers now have real negotiating leverage
• The growing number of condo sellers pulling listings off the market
• What 119 pending home sales may signal for the months ahead
• Why days on market matters more right now than headline prices
• What today’s Maui market means for buyers, sellers, investors, and second-home owners

This is not national real estate commentary. This is Maui-specific market intelligence from someone living and working in the middle of it every day.

Whether you own a Maui condo, are considering relocating, investing, or simply watching how Bill 9, tourism, and Lahaina recovery may affect property values — this episode gives you the numbers and the context behind them.

Next week’s episode will cover:
• Bill 9 updates
• H3/H4 hotel zoning discussions
• Lahaina recovery progress
• Maui tourism trends and visitor spending

This is Episode 32 – Maui Real Estate Market Update May 2026 | Condo Inventory Surges, Home Market Stabilizes

What’s happening this month:

• Lahaina rebuild is still moving slowly — especially commercial
• Tourism is up, but still below 2019 levels
• Bill 9 remains unresolved, creating ongoing uncertainty
• Condo market = strong buyer’s market
• Home market = tightening toward balance

Key numbers:

• Condos: 911 active listings (~12+ months inventory)
• Homes: 436 listings (~5.7 months supply)
• Median prices: ~$675K (condos) | ~$1.2M (homes)

What it means:

• Condos: more selection, more leverage, more risk (Bill 9)
• Homes: momentum picking up, window may be closing

Bottom line:
Two different markets. Know which one you’re in before making a move.

The Maui condo and home markets are telling very different stories in April 2026 — and both matter depending on where you are in your thinking. In this episode we cover the Lahaina rebuild (still too slow), the Bill 9 short-term rental uncertainty (still unresolved), a tourism recovery that’s attracting higher-spending visitors than ever, and the clearest market data signals we’ve seen in two years. If you’re watching Maui real estate from the mainland, this is the episode to hear.

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

Understanding how the county determines property values can help Maui property owners make sense of their annual assessment notices.

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.

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 expectations
• What a real luxury market crash would actually look like
• Why sales activity matters more than headlines
• How different price bands behave very differently
• What “liquidity” really means in luxury real estate
• What this market means right now for sellers
• And what it means for buyers who are paying attention

This 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.
