Is Now a Good Time to Buy on Maui? A Mid-2026 Reality Check

Is Now a Good Time to Buy on Maui?

Quick Answer:  Maui is a buyer's market right now, and real estate prices haven't been this low in years. Savvy buyers can land serious deals on great properties that they could have been priced out of just 3-4 years ago. However, elevated interest rates make financing a property more expensive, and there are questions about how much lower prices could go before they correct. 

The question is never really about the timing of the market, really, it's about the timing in your life, and whether now is a good time to buy for you? 

There are so many reasons my clients purchase property here on Maui. Buying a primary residence, second home, or investment property all carry different…

The Complete Guide to Buying a Second Home on Maui

buying a second home on maui

Buying a second home on Maui can be one of the most exciting and life-changing decisions a person can make. I've worked with a lot of second-home buyers over the years, and what I've found is that most of them have been thinking about this for a long time.

Maybe they started coming to Maui as kids, and as adults, they want to share that with their children. Maybe they fell in love with the island on a honeymoon and have always felt a connection. Maybe they've been renting for longer periods each year and have finally decided it makes more sense to own than to keep renting.

Whatever has you thinking about buying a second home on Maui, I want to share my experience and help you navigate this…

Upcountry Maui Real Estate: Your Guide to Kula, Makawao & Haiku

Upcountry Maui Real Estate

When most people think about buying real estate on Maui, their minds immediately jump to the ocean. They imagine beachfront condos in Kihei, luxury estates in Wailea, or resort living in Ka'anapali. And I get it. The coast is spectacular. But after 16 years of living and working on this island, I can tell you that some of the most unique, sought-after, and frankly underappreciated real estate on Maui is found somewhere else entirely — higher on the slopes of Haleakala.

Upcountry Maui is a world unto itself. The moment you start climbing Haleakalā Highway and the temperature drops a few degrees, the air gets a little crisp, and the landscape shifts from dry coastal scrub to lush…

Does Maui Have a Water Problem? 

Does Maui have a Water Problem

The Hawaiian Islands occupy a unique position on Planet Earth and are subject to distinct, sometimes extreme, weather patterns. Here in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 2,300 miles from California, Hawaii exists because of a fixed volcanic hot spot in the ocean (a deep plume of magma under the slowly moving Pacific Plate) that has been flowing for millions of years and is currently creating the Big Island.

It's a miracle that life exists in Hawaii and living here in Hawaii, at least in my humble opinion, is also miraculous.

Amazingly, Hawaii Island, the largest of the chain, is still growing from its active volcanoes, while the rest of the main Hawaiian Islands, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Lanai, Molokai, and Niihau,…

Explore Maui Neighborhoods and Communities for Families

Neighborhoods on Maui for Families

For a relatively small island, Maui offers a large diversity of lifestyles and microclimates that appeal to a wide range of people.

If you would like a hot, sunny, and dry climate with a beach lifestyle, you’ll find yourself drawn to Kihei, Wailea, Lahaina, or Ka’anapali.

Windsports and surfing enthusiasts are typically drawn to the windswept Northshore, where the community of Spreckelsville offers unparalleled access to extreme ocean sports and the Maui Country Club. Others are seeking a cooler, more rural, tropical rainforest setting in places like Makawao, Haiku, and Hana. Or even a relatively cold setting in upper Kula.

As you search for the ideal community for you and your…

Maui Real Estate with Agricultural Zoning: Best Areas and Development Rules

Maui Agricultural Properties Zoning

On Maui, living in harmony with the natural environment is a top priority. Agricultural zoning allows Maui property owners to not only have a farm, but to have a large degree of flexibility in how they use their property. Agricultural zoning is also the most flexible zoning classification when it comes to subdividing, and many take advantage of this through the CPR process which I will describe later, if you're not already familiar. 

Numerous agriculturally zoned neighborhoods on Maui strike a harmonious balance between development and nature. This agricultural zoning designation, also known as AG zoning, allows for multiple residential homes to be constructed under…
