Maui Hawaii South Shore Condo Newsletter - March 2010
For this issue let's try something completely different. When I pull up the 84 new condo listings from the past month, I notice there are already 14 units under contract, or pending. Of these, 7 are showing the status of Pending Do Not Show, meaning the seller feels very secure that the sale will proceed to closing as planned and they don't even want to bother with more showings. When you consider that Maui has been dubbed the best location in the US for a second home, it should come as no surprise that Kihei and Wailea condos are still a good buy.
The following listings are already under contract, to give you an indication of what is really selling, not just what's on the market and overpriced. This is where our south Maui condo market is right now. Can you see yourself owning one of these?
