Current Market Snapshot

It’s easy to say it’s still the #1 choice for luxury Buyers wanting the benefits of agricultural space/acreage mixed into a residential neighborhood. Since 2017 Launiupoko/Puunoa has made up 63%, 30% and this year’s 42% of West Maui’s $3M+ luxury real estate market. However, with that said since the banner year of 2017, sales volume has taken a decline by nearly 50% (see chart below). But again, 2017 was an exceptional sales year from the perspective of traded properties and what we see now is (17-22 total sales) more of the normal market cycle.

While last year was a bit gaudy with Launiupoko having 2 very large sales at $11M & $7M respectively. 2019 sales prices still remain strong.

There are currently 21 homes actively listed for sale ($1.15M – $8,75M) and 12 land parcels for sale listed ($695K – $3M).
