It’s difficult to describe a typical Maui home because the island offers so much variety. You can find properties in oceanfront settings, on the slopes of Haleakala, in rainforest environments, warm dry climates, quiet rural areas, or resort communities. Homes range from new construction to historic Hawaii Plantation-style architecture, from modest cottages to expansive estates. What they all share is the extraordinary island of Maui with its culture, natural beauty, and remarkable lifestyle. Our goal is to help you find the right home in the setting that fits you best.
People travel from all over the world to enjoy the sights and the recreational opportunities on this island. That’s one of the true advantages of living on Maui and owning a home in this beautiful corner of the world. You get to live close to these beautiful playgrounds. Whether living on the North Shore and being close to places to wing or surf, gardening and hiking Upcountry, or golfing and beach-going in South Maui, this tremendous outdoor playground is accessible on the weekend or after work instead of being a plane ride away.
If you value your privacy, want room to farm or just have a personal orchard, homes on acreage are available throughout most of Maui. Large swaths of the North Shore, Upcountry and East Maui have agricultural zoning, meaning lots of two acres or more. You can also find acreage in smaller areas of Central Maui and parts of West Maui, including within the Kapalua Resort. If space is paramount to your home search, we can help you a place that fits your needs.
While Accessory Dwelling Units are growing in popularity on the continent, they have been common in Hawaii Real Estate for years. Known locally as Ohanas (the Hawaiian word for family), people have been building ADUs on their properties for decades due partly to the prevalence of multi-generational living in the Hawaiian Islands. Renting an ohana long-term can also help families make ends meet with the high cost of living.

Understanding your options is the first step to finding your perfect Maui home. Each property type offers unique advantages depending on your lifestyle, budget, and investment goals.
The median home price in Maui varies significantly by area and property type. As of late 2024 and early 2025, the median for single-family homes reached approximately $1.4 million countywide, with South Maui properties and West Maui oceanfront homes commanding premium prices often exceeding $2-5 million. Upcountry and Central Maui offer more accessible options at lower price points. Contact The Maui Real Estate Team for current pricing data specific to your preferred neighborhoods and property features.
The best neighborhood depends on your lifestyle preferences. South Maui offers sunny weather and resort living in Wailea and Kihei. West Maui features beachfront properties in Lahaina, Kaanapali, and Kapalua. North Shore attracts those who enjoy a quieter pace, surfing, and rural charm. Upcountry provides cooler temperatures, agricultural land, and mountain views.
Each area has distinct characteristics regarding climate, amenities, and property types. Learn more about Maui neighborhoods or contact our team to match you with areas that align with your priorities.
Maui County property taxes depend on your property classification and assessed value. Owner-occupied homes receive the most favorable homeowner rates at $1.65 per $1,000 of assessed value (plus a $200,000 homeowner exemption), while non-owner-occupied second homes face significantly higher rates at $5.87, and vacation rentals pay $12.50 per $1,000. Property tax considerations should factor into your long-term ownership costs.
Read our complete Maui property tax guide for detailed breakdowns, or contact our team for specific calculations on properties you’re considering.
Short-term vacation rental regulations in Maui County require proper permits and face significant restrictions. Each region has strict caps on STRH (Short-Term Rental Home) permits, with some areas like Molokai prohibiting them entirely. Most regions are at or near capacity. Recent legislation (Bill 9, December 2025) phases out approximately 7,000 apartment-zoned vacation rentals by 2029-2031, making future STR availability even more limited.
If generating rental income is part of your investment strategy, you’ll need to identify properties with existing vacation rental permits or those grandfathered under previous regulations. Learn about vacation rental considerations before purchasing, and reach out to discuss which properties meet your rental income goals.
Living expenses in Maui are substantially higher than most mainland locations. Hawaii ranks as the most expensive state in the nation, with overall costs running approximately 80% above the national average. Groceries typically cost 50% or more above national averages. Electricity rates are the highest in the nation—more than double the national average—though many homes use solar panels to reduce costs. Gas prices, dining, and everyday goods also carry premium pricing.

Fee simple means you own both the property and the land beneath it outright. Leasehold means you own the home or structure but lease the land from the landowner for a set period, typically 30-99 years. Leasehold properties often have lower purchase prices but require monthly or annual lease payments. When the lease expires, ownership typically reverts to the landowner unless you renegotiate. Fee simple properties generally appreciate better and are easier to finance and resell.
Most properties in Maui are fee simple, but leasehold arrangements exist in certain areas. Understand leasehold vs fee simple ownership before making an offer, or contact us to explain the implications for any property that interests you.
The Maui housing market remains competitive with limited inventory and strong demand from both residents and second-home buyers. Properties in desirable locations often receive multiple offers. Market conditions fluctuate by season, area, and price point. Interest rates, economic factors, and buyer preferences all influence current dynamics.
Our quarterly market updates provide detailed analysis of trends, pricing, and inventory levels across all Maui regions. Whether you’re ready to buy now or planning for the future, understanding market timing can inform your strategy. Contact us for the latest data on your target areas and price ranges.
Buying Maui real estate involves unique considerations compared to mainland purchases. Hawaii requires sellers to provide comprehensive disclosure statements under state law. While termite inspections are not legally mandated, they are standard industry practice and typically required by mortgage lenders. Understanding water rights, agricultural designations, zoning, and title insurance procedures is important.
Many buyers work remotely throughout the process, relying on video tours and local representation. Foreign buyers face additional documentation requirements. Financing options vary, and some lenders have more experience with Hawaii properties than others. Working with agents who specialize in Maui real estate provides invaluable guidance through these nuances. The Maui Real Estate Team has extensive experience helping buyers from around the world complete successful transactions. Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific situation and timeline.
