*COVID-19 continues to impact the Maui Real Estate Market. It is too early to tell how it may affect the local housing market longterm. Over the last five months we have seen home and condominium sales decrease significantly. Condos have been impacted more than homes. Maui condo values increased in August after two consecutive months of price decreases. Although Maui condo sales rebounded in August compared to June and July, sales were down 7.7% compared to August 2019. Total condominiums sales on Maui are down 23.9% in 2020 compared to the same time period during 2019. With Real Estate Agents considered nonessential throughout Maui County through parts of March and April no showings of homes or condominiums were allowed. This affected pending sales for March and April, 2020 and closed sales starting in April and May, 2020. We have seen a large increase in condos available for sale. Trends are just now starting to show the affect COVID has had on Maui condo sales. These trends are showing that we may see a plateau and possibly a decrease in Maui condo values if inventory continues to increase and demand remains low.

**Condominium sales on Maui decreased for the fifth consecutive month compared to what we would normally see. Median condo values increased in August after two consecutive months of decreasing values. Maui condos are often purchased as second properties or investment properties. Reduced flights and required quarantine has prevented many buyers from being able to travel to Maui to view properties. Concerns over the economy likely has affected both pending and recent condominium sales on Maui. There was a slight increase in both sales and pending sales in August, but overall condo sales activity on Maui is way down compared to normal. Condo inventory has increased with 7.5 months of inventory at this time. During August 2019 there was 3.8 months of inventory. With the amount of inventory and reduced demand we are on the cusp of seeing a buyers market for Maui condominiums. The typical rule of thumb is 6 plus months of inventory is considered a buyers market. We may be on the verge of seeing Maui condo values plateau and possible decrease if Hawaii's economy does not open back up.
