Market Update

Unbelievable is the way some Realtors® are describing our market. The average sales price was up 21% last year to $591,000 while this week, the median asking price was $875,000, meaning half the sellers are seeking more than that amount, half less.

Not only prices were soaring. So were transactions: 1,986 condo closings (up 26 percent) and 1,410 single-family closings (up 42 percent).

As a result, resales of Maui County houses and condominiums totaled more than $1.5 billion in 2003. In 2002, the total was $959 million. We are proud to say that Coldwell Banker Island Properties accounted for nearly $1 billion of those sales last year.

Some of the excerpts above were taken from a Maui News story on Tuesday. Click here for the full article.

Have a wonderful week and please let us know how we can help you.
