Maui Real Estate Market Overview and Statistics | 2015

One of the questions I'm asked most frequently, particularly by Sellers, is where do buyers of Maui properties originate?  There is often a misperception that the majority of our foreign buyers come from Asia.  While this might be true for Oahu's market (particularly Honolulu), it hasn't been the case for Maui County, which includes the islands of Molokai and Lanai

When looking for this information, I turn to Title Guaranty, one of Hawaii's most reputable Title and Escrow Companies, for their market research.  As you can see, the bulk of purchases made by foreign buyers of Maui real estate were Canadian, with 80 transactions in 2015, compared with only 3 from Japan, and none from China.

Hawaii possesses a magical allure, its volcanic islands rising triumphantly from the ocean, each ringed in colorful beaches and bestowed with lush tropical rainforests, gushing mountain rivers, a beautiful native population and surfing spots that would be mythical if they weren’t real.
