Residential Home sales were up 3 sales compared to February 2010, but the average pricing was down -$64,150. There is still a good amount of affordable inventory out there, and more homes under $500,000 than we have seen in years. Condo sales volume is still very healthy and our inventory is decreasing monthly, however in February we saw a drop in our average sales prices of $48,000 to last year. In synopsis, the market is definitely moving, and properties that are priced well are moving quickly. There are still great values out there to be had, especially with interest rates being as low as the currently are. This is a perfect time to explore an investment on the beautiful island of Maui.
