Maui's MLS Just Changed: 'Coming Soon' Listings Are HERE

Maui's MLS just dropped a bombshell: "Coming Soon" listings are NOW allowed. For the first time, you can get eyes on properties BEFORE they hit the open market, and if you're not on the inside, you're already behind.

The Letter Maui County Doesn't Want Everyone Seeing (Bill 9 Update)

Maui County said one thing publicly about Bill 9, then sent private owners at one particular complex a very different letter. We got our hands on what they're NOT announcing at the council meetings, and it changes everything for these condo owners and buyers. 📧 Book your free Aloha Vision Quest strategy call: https://bit.ly/aloha-vision-quest [https://bit.ly/aloha-vision-quest] In this Coconut Wireless episode, Jonny & Danny break down: 🏘️ The Bill 9 letter Maui County is quietly sending to private owners — and what it means for your rental rights 📊 A $2.4M Maui Meadows listing that just sold for $1.5M... that's a $900K haircut 🏗️ The CPR flip sitting 75 days on the market at $1.9M — is the math broken? 💸 Harbor Lights: $99K vs $234K for the SAME building — what's the real story? 📋 Kaanapali Royal's insane tax gap: $18K/yr vs $1,600/yr depending on your status 🔥 A special May 26th council meeting that could reshape zoning Plus, the Deal of the Week drops tomorrow.

They Burned Down Our Town. Now They Want Re-Elected

They had one job. They failed. And now they're asking for another term. Book a free Aloha Vision Quest strategy call: https://bit.ly/aloha-vision-quest [https://bit.ly/aloha-vision-quest] In today's Coconut Wireless, we're going straight to the Maui County Council. All nine seats are up for grabs, and the same leadership that was in charge when Lahaina burned wants back in. We break down the real failures: the ignored 2018 fire warnings, the infrastructure budget cuts, the placard debacle at Napili Park, and the convenient "climate change" deflection that lets nobody take responsibility. Plus, the progressive wave that might actually flip the council, a brand-new food truck opening on Kaave (behind Foodland Farms), and the leasehold deals and timeshare flips happening right now in West Maui real estate. This isn't a political ad. This is what we've lived through. And if we don't talk about it, who will? 🔗 Browse all Maui listings: https://looksee.it/VvgXy [https://looksee.it/VvgXy] 🔗 Hotel-zoned properties: https://looksee.it/kOdGE [https://looksee.it/kOdGE] #Maui #Lahaina #MauiFire #MauiCountyCouncil #MauiRealEstate #RetireWithMaui #CoconutWireless #dreams2REALITYHawaii

The Numbers Don't Lie: Maui Vacation Rentals Are Struggling (Except This One)

Maui's vacation rental occupancy is crashing — and the numbers are brutal. Book your FREE Aloha Vision Quest strategy call → https://bit.ly/aloha-vision-quest [https://bit.ly/aloha-vision-quest] Browse the current Maui Hot List → https://looksee.it/VvgXy [https://looksee.it/VvgXy] Maui Paradise Properties just posted 53.5% occupancy last week, with the next 90 days projecting only 38%. The rest of the island? 44% last week, 32% projected through summer. That's a far cry from the 75-85% occupancy Maui property owners enjoyed for years. But here's what nobody's telling you: ONE condo is bucking the trend. Kahana Manor, a self-managed 1-bed/1-bath listed at $499,000, is sitting at 85% occupancy. Verified income of $64,000. May is nearly fully booked. June has four open nights. July? Maybe seven. It's proof that self-management isn't just a cost-saving hack. It's the difference between a condo that cash flows and one that bleeds. In this episode, we break down: 📉 Why managed properties are getting crushed (and whose fault that might be) 🔑 The self-management blueprint that's beating every property manager on island 💰 The real math: why a 25% management deal doesn't pencil at 70% occupancy 🔥 The "toxic compassion" problem — how Maui's policies reward inaction and punish the people who actually show up 🏗️ Bill 9 fallout: where the TVR tax money actually went (and why nobody can answer that question) 🏡 This week's Hot List: from a leasehold Papakea unit dropped to $249K, to a Royal Kahana 9-stack at sub-$600K, to a Kaanapali hillside house at $2.495M — plus a Molokai opportunity starting at $195K If you own a Maui vacation rental, or you're thinking about buying one, this episode is the reality check you need before summer booking season.

They Bought the Dream. The Fire Sent a $750,000 Bill.

They bought the Maui dream. Then the Lahaina fire sent them a $750,000 bill they never saw coming. 📞 Book your strategy call: https://bit.ly/aloha-vision-quest [https://bit.ly/aloha-vision-quest] In this episode, Jonny and Danny break down the Aina Nalu special assessment — a $200 million rebuild with only $30 million in insurance coverage. That gap? It falls on the owners. We're talking $750K per unit for two-bedroom condos that once sold for $950K. This isn't a hypothetical. This is happening right now. But it's not all disaster. While some developments crumble under special assessments, others are flying off the shelves. Apartment-zoned condos like Maui Vista are closing in under a month — cash buyers, conventional loans, no drama. The market is split, and understanding which side you're on is the difference between a dream retirement and a financial nightmare. What we cover: 🔥 The Aina Nalu $200M rebuild — and who actually pays 📉 Why hotel-zoned condos are getting crushed while apartment-zoned units sell fast 💰 The $699K condo with a $40K special assessment (and $2K/month HOA) — why it's still sitting 🏝️ Beach Villas drops $1M from original price — is it finally a deal? 🏷️ Deal of the Week: Kahana Villa sub-$450K with ocean views 📊 Live market data — what's moving, what's stuck, and why Whether you're dreaming of a permanent move, a second home, or a vacation rental that pays for itself — this episode will show you exactly what to watch out for before you write the check. 🔍 Browse all Maui listings: https://looksee.it/VvgXy [https://looksee.it/VvgXy] 🏨 Hotel-zoned properties: https://looksee.it/kOdGE [https://looksee.it/kOdGE] 👇 Drop a comment — would you buy into a development with a pending special assessment?
