Condo buyers came out in force on Maui in June, even as prices took a breather. The island saw 88 condominium closings last month, more than double the 58 recorded in June 2025, while the islandwide median condo price slipped to $625,000. Single-family transactions also ticked up, leaving the market in a curious spot: stronger sales volume paired with softer condo pricing, a combination that points to more lower-priced units changing hands while higher-end listings sit longer.
Condo Sales Jump, But Units Are Lingering Longer
The REALTORS® Association of Maui logged the 88 condo resales and the $625,000 median and reported that condominium inventory was taking longer to clear in June, according to Maui Now. RAM's monthly figures show condos spent a median of about 172 days on the market, while total condominium dollar volume reached roughly $75.2 million. "June’s numbers show that buyers are still active when the right opportunities come along," RAM President Georgie Tamayose said in the association's release, as reported by the outlet.
Single-Family Sales Stay Sturdy
Single-family resales also rose, with 78 closings in June and a median price near $1.36 million, underscoring that higher-end segments remain relatively resilient. That early summer pattern, with rising condo transaction counts as median condo prices ease, mirrors coverage by Pacific Business News, which noted the same mixed trend across the first half of 2026.
Policy And Market Forces At Play
Analysts say the cooling in the condo market has several moving parts beyond basic buyer demand. The University of Hawaiʻi's UHERO factbook points to local policy shifts, notably Maui County rules phasing out many short-term vacation rentals in apartmg
ent-zoned buildings, as one factor that has already tamped down investor appetite for certain condo product types, according to UH News / UHERO. Rising insurance and association fees, along with post-disaster rebuilding dynamics in parts of the island, are adding further pressure on pricing and financing for condo owners.
Buyers Are More Selective, Brokers Say
Longer median days on market for condos suggest buyers have time to shop, compare and negotiate, a dynamic local brokers have been flagging in recent market notes and reporting. Local coverage from Maui News echoes RAM's figures and points to more choice for buyers as inventory stabilizes. For the full MLS breakdown and neighborhood-level tables, the REALTORS® Association of Maui posts monthly statistics on its site.
For now, the jump in transactions gives sellers some reason for optimism about activity, even as the lower median condo price and longer selling times hint at a more cautious mood among buyers. Market watchers will be eyeing July and the rest of the summer to see whether demand keeps pace or prices bend further.
