Buyers Market on Maui-Think Again




BUYERS MARKET ON MAUI- THINK AGAIN:

We have all been lulled into the "market is falling" and will continue to go down, shadow inventory, the bottom hasn't arrived thinking.
If you are looking for a condo under 200k in Kihei you may need to rethink that.

In today's search on MLS 0 yes I said 0 condos came up. Doesn't sound like rock bottom pricing and lots to choose from to me.

If you raise the bar to 250k you only get 7 properties. We have people with cash in hand searching on Maui right now for deals, so if you are a buyer you are competing for one of 7 condos. This means you can't underbid and chances are you will be in a competing bid situation.
Condos that have been on the market for months have been claimed now.
Be prepared to know the market prior to shopping for a home.

If you are thinking of buying a home and want to work with a professional team that will look out for your best interests, make the buying process fun/easy, and want to get you that best buy contact The Fine Island Properties Team at Keller Williams Realty Maui.
