How's the Maui real estate market right now?
By Tony Kawaguchi, REALTOR (RS-66616), The Kawaguchi Group, eXp Realty (RB-21841). Selling in Hawaii since 2005. Updated November 10, 2026.
Maui's October 2026 market was quieter for houses and busier for condos. Title Guaranty's Maui Residential Sales Report, compiling the island board's statistics and effective November 2, 2026, put the single-family median at $1,179,000 on 59 sales, down 7.8% in sales and 4.9% in price from October 2025. Condos went the other way on volume: 68 sales, up 11.5%, at a median of $634,500, down just 0.5%. Those headline figures are for the report's Maui County total, which includes 3 single-family sales on Lanaʻi and 4 on Molokaʻi. The live charts on this page are for the island of Maui itself.
Year to date through October, 596 single-family homes had sold, up 0.7% from the same stretch of 2025, at a median of $1,211,500, down 6.8%. Condo sales were the stronger story: 687 closings, up 20.3%, at a year-to-date median of $652,500, down 6.1%. For a neighborhood-level introduction, see my Maui real estate guide.
Maui is several markets, not one median
The island-wide numbers are a starting point, not a price opinion for a Kīhei condo or a Wailea house. In October, according to the same report:
- Wailuku had 10 single-family sales at a median of $957,500.
- Haiku had 10 single-family sales at a median of $1.6 million.
- Kula and Pukalani had 8 single-family sales at a median of $1.3 million.
- Wailea and Makena had 7 single-family sales at a median of $2.9 million, and 10 condo sales at a median of $3.3 million.
- Kīhei had 6 single-family sales at a median of $1.1 million, and 29 condo sales at a median of $540,000 — the busiest condo pocket in the report.
- Kāʻanapali had 7 condo sales at a median of $1.3 million, and Nāpili, Kahana, and Mahinahina had 6 condo sales at a median of $472,500.
A $1,179,000 "Maui median" is the middle of that spread, not a description of any one of those places. Upcoming market pages will go area by area: West Maui, South Maui, and Central Maui.
Lanaʻi and Molokaʻi, in brief
They are not large enough, on one month of sales, to support their own market report pages right now. In October the same report counted 3 single-family sales on Lanaʻi at a median of $758,000, and 4 on Molokaʻi at a median of $367,500, with no condo sales on either island. If you are buying or selling there, I work from the actual listings and recent sales, not from the Maui County median.
What it means for buyers
You will get a clearer picture by starting with the area — Central, South, West, Upcountry, or North Shore — than by starting with the county median. Condo shoppers had more October closings to look at than a year earlier, especially in Kīhei, but a Wailea condo and a Kīhei condo are not substitutes. House shoppers should treat a 59-sale month as a thin sample: one or two high-end closings can move the median without changing what a typical Wailuku or Kīhei house brings. The live listings below are the better snapshot of what is actually available today.
What it means for sellers
Year-to-date single-family sales are about even with last year, but the year-to-date median is down 6.8%. That is a market that still transacts, not one that rewards an optimistic list price from a prior year. Condo sellers have seen more activity — 687 sales through October, up 20.3% — and a modestly lower year-to-date median. I would price from recent sales in the same community, and I would be careful about using Wailea or Kapalua comps for a house that is not in that band.

Maui housing market FAQ
How is the Maui real estate market right now?
In October 2026, Maui County single-family homes sold at a median of $1,179,000 on 59 sales, down 4.9% in price and 7.8% in sales from a year earlier. Condos sold at a median of $634,500 on 68 sales, up 11.5% in volume and down 0.5% in price. Figures are from Title Guaranty's October 2026 Maui report, effective November 2, 2026, compiling the island board's statistics, and include Lanaʻi and Molokaʻi.
What is the median home price on Maui?
The October 2026 single-family median was $1,179,000, and the condo median was $634,500. Year to date through October, those medians were $1,211,500 for single-family homes, down 6.8% from the first ten months of 2025, and $652,500 for condos, down 6.1%. Area medians range widely, from Wailuku houses at $957,500 to Wailea and Makena houses at $2.9 million in October.
Do the Maui market numbers include Lanaʻi and Molokaʻi?
The written October figures on this page do. The Title Guaranty Maui report counted 3 single-family sales on Lanaʻi and 4 on Molokaʻi in October, and those sales are part of the 59-sale, $1,179,000 county median. The live MLS charts on this page are set to the island of Maui, so they will not include those listings unless we widen the search later.
Is the Maui condo market stronger than the housing market?
On volume, yes, recently. Condo sales were up 11.5% in October and up 20.3% year to date, while single-family sales were down 7.8% in October and about flat year to date (up 0.7%). The condo median was nearly unchanged in October and down 6.1% year to date. "Stronger" still depends on the community: Kīhei accounted for 29 of the 68 October condo sales, at a $540,000 median, which is a different market from Wailea and Makena condos at $3.3 million.
How much do homes cost in different parts of Maui?
In October 2026, single-family medians included $957,500 in Wailuku, $1.1 million in Kīhei, $1.3 million in Kula and Pukalani, $1.6 million in Haiku, and $2.9 million in Wailea and Makena. Several West Maui communities had only a handful of house sales, so I would not lean on a one-month median there without looking at the actual properties.
Why shouldn't I rely only on the Maui median?
Because 59 single-family sales in a month is a small sample spread across very different communities. A few Wailea closings can lift the county median even if most buyers are shopping in Kahului, Wailuku, or Kīhei. I use the county number as context, then pull comparable sales in the same area.
