Residential Home sales came in with 61 homes sold and 69 Condo sales. While numbers are in synopsis stronger than last year in most respects, both homes and condos show a decrease after four months of higher numbers in 2010, which may be partly attributed to the end of the Home Buyer Tax Credit Program. Interest rates are still very low, a large amount of inventory on the market, and motivated sellers, make this a great time to explore an investment on the beautiful island of Maui.
