Market Update

We know that those of you who have been following our Newsletters for some time know what a hot market we are in. For those of you who are new, or for those who would like corroboration, here is a link to all the sales statistics for December 2003 and for the entire year for sales of homes, condos, and land throughout Maui County (Includes Lanai and Molokai).

Here is a brief summary of those statistics.

Homes - Sales up 42% / Median Price Increased 21% to $440,000

Condos - Sales up 26% / Median Price Increased 18% to $242,000

Land - Sales up 9% / Median Price Increased 8% to $330,000

Although we don't have a crystal ball and thus cannot predict with certainty what will happen in 2004, we feel there is a good likelihood that the current trend towards higher prices will continue, but most likely at a somewhat diminished rate.

What do you think? Are you planning to buy, sell, or trade property on Maui this year? We specialize in 1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges, so if you have appreciated investment property and would like to find out how you can sell your property without incurring any tax liability, please let us know. We would be happy to send you information that explains how this works or visit the IPX Exchange Website.
