Along with the rest of the country, Maui's real estate market has been far more active than last year during the pandemic.  The number of sales has increased dramatically across all market sectors--homes, condos and land.  The median price has increased as well, in part spurred by oceanfront home and resort sales.

The days on market is down for both homes and land, but is up for land, which tends to be a slower-moving market on the whole, as it doesn't allow immediate use and enjoyment and the building process does take time.
