Kula Maui Real EstateThere is some amazing country in Up-Country Maui.  Years ago I lived in Kula before there were too many night lights on the crater.  Kula was a quiet place in the country and like all unique beautiful places before they become discovered.  So the secret has been out for a while now.  That the lead ward side of Haleakala Crater offers a break from the trade winds and rain of the Northshore of Maui.  Being a gardener, I have to say that the elevation and volcanic soil makes Kula one of the best places on the island to farm.  That is one of the reasons Kula onions are famous, not to mention strawberries, cabbage, and gourmet lettuce to name a few.  Another feature is mild temperatures and amazing ocean views.  There is currently a large inventory of quality homes on th...

Maui is an amazing place.  It has so many different faces.  You have South Maui, which is made up of Kihei and Wailea.  South Maui is more of a resort community.  Very much like Lahaina side of the island.  Warm beaches and lots of things to do for the tourist. Upcountry Maui has a totally different feeling to it.  If you cruise into Makawao town, it still has the feeling of an old cowboy town.  You might see a cattle truck driving through town or horse trailers pulling their cargo to work or just for a ride in the hills. Upcountry Kula Homes have areas that people favor for the living.  There are people that just love Olinda, located right above Makawao town.  Olinda offers rolling hills and beautiful pasture views over looking the Pacific ocean.  So if Makawao or Olinda might be the n...

   Maui Real Estate Market Is the real estate section of your local paper filled with stories about how slow the real estate market is in real estate?  Is it taking months to sell the homes on the market? If you have been waiting for the perfect time to buy a home or condo in Maui, this is the time!       This kind of market is referred to as a "buyers' market" for good reason--it is an opportunity for buyers to select from a large number of homes, and condos that could satisfy their needs. Interest rates are at an all time low.  Everyone involved is ready to bend over backwards to make it possible for you to buy your dream home. Most sellers are highly motivated and so are the local Realtors, mortgage brokers, banks and other professionals involved in the transaction. It is important t...

January Maui Real Estate Market!.   Last month December was pretty quiet till we hit Christmas Season on Maui. December is usually a slow month but we were still off 25%.  We are now into our winter season.  Maui real estate is of key interest, especially to our Canadian buyers.  I have been talking to owners in Wailea, that for various reasons are making a lifestyle change and downsizing their homes.   At the same time buyers know that there is a lot of inventory, which means it's a great time to buy.  Talking with lenders some of our local banks like First Hawaiian Bank and Bank of Hawaii are actually really in good shape. The interest rates are at an all time low.   So I do think the New Year may not be a record year for real estate sales.  We will see a steady flow of business this ...

If you are looking for property in Kula, HI don't forget to check out a beautiful neighborhood called KULAMANU and also the charming neighborhood called called KULA KAI.  Most homes have gorgeous ocean views, and the elevation provides a nice cool climate during the hot summer months.  Many homes have fireplaces (yes fireplaces on Maui!) and they are perfect for the cooler nights in winter.  Upcountry Maui is peaceful, and is far from the hustle bustle of the hotel/tourist scene.  Check out these 2 Kula listings if you are looking for exceptional homes.  The one in Kula Kai is a fabulous remodel and backs up to pastureland that is magical from the back deck. The front of the house faces an excellent ocean view.  The house in Kulamanu is almost brand new and feels like a model home.  Cli...

Yesterday was our regular Thursday real estate caravan.  That is where Realtors get together, to promote our properties.  So I headed up to Kula, and Ulupalakua to view a few properties.  First stop was a home in Kula Kai.  This home was  beautiful remodeled kitchen.  I love the views from this home.  The backyard is up against ranch lands.  The front of the house has south Maui ocean views.  This is the ocean view.  It is a little hazy, due to the vog from the big island volcano.  Then it was off to Ulupalakua.  I was in trouble when I drove past Grandma's,  there was no wolf, but I can't resist their hot Mocha's.  You see I am trying to cut down on coffee.  But Grandma's, coffee and fresh bake goods are seriously good eating.  Back on the road to Ululpalakua.  This is ranch country.  ...
