Inventory at a Record Low

Islandwide, our inventory levels are at a record low, and Maui Meadows is showing similar projections. The properties that are priced well, in good conditions and without permit issues, are selling and selling fast! Also, the listings with ohanas or accessory dwelling continue to be the preference in Maui Meadows; 9 of the sold properties did have an ohana.

I live in the neighborhood, and you can see me walking my dogs all the time. Feel free to stop me and ask questions; my dogs don’t bite 😊
