Hoonanea at Lahaina 2019 Headlines (What You Need to Know)
- 5 total sales in 2019 (-58%)
- While there has been a volume slowdown, prices/demand are still strong indicated by another calendar year of positive growth (+3).
- Since 2014, sale prices have increased 40% with relatively equal gains in both 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units.
- Square footage matters as 1,261 sq ft, 2-Bedroom Malino model sales prices have exceeded last year’s 3-Bedroom sales average ($563K avg vs $558K)
- However, with increased prices (not to mention Bypass traffic congestion) has come a bit of Buyer’s resistance in 2019. This is shown mainly by the decrease in sales volume. In a neighborhood that has historically averaged 9 transactions per yer, there were only 5 in 2019 and 4 other listings cancelled or expired without re-listing.
- Another key indicator is the increased days on market of time to sell. From a 2015 – 2017 it took Hoonanea an average of only 86 days per sale. 2018 – it increased to 118 days and 2019 saw 139 days.
- Currently there are 5 actively listed units for sale
