Maui Real Estate April 2026: Condos vs. Homes, Lahaina, Bill 9, and What the Data Is Really Saying

What’s happening this month: *  Lahaina rebuild is still moving slowly — especially commercial  *  Tourism is up, but still below 2019 levels  *  Bill 9 remains unresolved, creating ongoing uncertainty  *  Condo market = strong buyer’s market  *  Home market = tightening toward balance  Key numbers: *  Condos: 911 active listings (~12+ months inventory)  *  Homes: 436 listings (~5.7 months supply)  *  Median prices: ~$675K (condos) | ~$1.2M (homes)  What it means: *  Condos: more selection, more leverage, more risk (Bill 9)  *  Homes: momentum picking up, window may be closing  Bottom line: Two different markets. Know which one you’re in before making a move. The Maui condo and home markets are telling very different stories in April 2026 — and both matter depending on where you are in your thinking. In this episode we cover the Lahaina rebuild (still too slow), the Bill 9 short-term rental uncertainty (still unresolved), a tourism recovery that’s attracting higher-spending visitors than ever, and the clearest market data signals we’ve seen in two years.

March Maui Market Update 2026 - Maui Market Rebounds?

In this March edition of the Maui Real Estate Advisor market report, Lahaina Lee breaks down what really happened in February—and what it means for buyers and sellers right now. After a slow start to the year and a month impacted by major Kona Low storms, the condo market showed meaningful signs of recovery, with a sharp rise in both closed and pending sales. Pricing also bounced back, suggesting renewed momentum—though inventory remains high and buyers still hold the advantage. Meanwhile, the single-family home market tells a more complex story. Despite increasing pending sales, closed transactions declined and prices softened, pointing to activity concentrated more in the core market than the luxury segment. With elevated inventory across the board, Maui continues to favor buyers—but shifting demand signals could shape the months ahead. If you’re watching the market, considering a move, or waiting for the right opportunity, this update gives you a clear, data-driven view of where things stand now—and where they may be headed next.
