Commentary: 
Since the first quarter, the lowest offering in the resort has increased from $595,000 to $649,000.  There are fewer pending sales, however, the sales are all at the upper end of the market, with an increase of the average price from $1,844,250 in the first quarter to $5,312,500 at the time of this post.  While there have been fewer sales recorded through June 30 in 2016 vs. 2015, it should be noted that just one or two sales can change the averages, particularly with high price points at the Montage Kapalua Bay, where there are currently three condominium residences pending sale.  

Condominium neighborhoods in Kapalua include the Coconut Grove, Kapalua Bay Villas, Kapalua Golf Villas, Kapalua Ironwoods, Kapalua Ridge Villas, Montage Residences, Kapalua Bay and the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Kapalua.

Commentary: 
Vacant land has been hit hardest in the Kapalua real estate market since the bottom in 2012.  In 2015, there was a significant sale of a lot on the 18th fairway of the Plantation Estates at $4,500,000.  This serves to raise the average sales prices for that year.  It was a premium paid for location and view.  The sales in 2016 have been in the Honolua Ridge development, which has commanded lower resales of late. Land sales have historically lagged behind home sales as they present a longer time investment with regard to planning and building.  Many resort buyers are looking for immediate use (home or a condo).  However, as lot prices are relatively low in Honolua Ridge and there are so few lots left in Pineapple Hill, we are starting to see buyers move into the land market so that they can build exactly what they want in a home. 

There are five primary residential areas in Kapalua: Pineapple Hill and Pineapple Hill Estates, Kapalua Place, (note there is only one undeveloped lot in this oceanfront community) Honolua Ridge and the Plantation Estates.
