🏝️ Maui Market in Gridlock: Is This 2008 Déjà Vu?
This month, condo and home sales on Maui have dipped below levels seen during the Great Recession — and that’s raising serious questions. Are we seeing a repeat of 2008, or are we entering entirely new territory? In this episode, Lahina Lee breaks down the numbers, the inventory surge, and the growing disconnect between buyer caution and seller expectations. We also dive into Bill 9, the proposed legislation that could reshape vacation rental rights in apartment-zoned properties — and what that means for investors and homeowners alike.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just trying to make sense of Maui’s shifting real estate landscape, this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Maui Real Estate Advisor, Lahaina Lee breaks down the latest data on Maui's condo market—and the results may surprise you. With short-term rental rights under threat and tourism still recovering, how are hotel-zoned condos holding up compared to apartment-zoned properties?

You’ll learn:

• The real difference in sales volume, pricing, and time on market
• Why apartment-zoned condos are selling faster—despite legal uncertainty
• What buyers and sellers need to know before making a move
• How HOA fees, inventory levels, and shifting perceptions are reshaping the landscape

Whether you’re a current owner, a prospective buyer, or just trying to make sense of a volatile market, this episode offers a grounded, data-driven look at two very different sides of Maui real estate.
