Makena Surf Three Bedroom Unit over $6Million

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

This is amazing: take a look for yourself! A Makena Surf unit on market for over $6,000,000.00. Who would have ever thought we are getting there. Well, Real Estate on Maui, like anywhere else, really is about location, location and then about location.

Unit F-301 is facing south towards Makena Place. The lanais have fabulous views of Secret Beach and the shoreline beyond. Over the glittering ocean you clearly see the islet of Molokini. The height of the third floor makes the small stretch of land between the building and the blue water almost disappearing. This is truly a private, majestic location within Makena Surf.

Makena Surf is an oceanfront, lowrise condominium complex above Poolenalena Beach and the southern, more rocky shores bordering buildings E and F. The beautiful stretch of sandy shore in front of building B is easily accessable from any unit within Makena Surf. The location is certainly one of those locations that contributed to Maui’s numerous awards of being the best island in the world.

Owners are able to offer their units in a vacation rental program of their choice. The leading company here has been Destination Resorts. Two bedroom units are usually available from $2,500,000.00 if not remodeled. If you are becoming an owner or if it is just a vacation, any trip to Maui and Makena Surf will be unforgettable. Please call me for a market update or if you would like to schedule a showing. Mahalo, VW.

Your values are down - Ours are still going up!

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Welcome to Maui. I am sorry to inform you that you just missed the opportunity of a lifetime: back in 2007 you could have saved yourself $5,000,000.00 US dollar. But that was then. Cheers to the New Year: while the whole world has problems with declining real estate values, Maui doesn’t seem to ‘listen’ –again. It’s like: you have winter, we have summer -all year long!
This home on Keawakapu Beach was already listed for $20,000,000.00 when the listing price was raised by $5Mill. a few days ago. First one has to understand that this beach is truly one of the beaches that makes Maui so popular. Secondly there is the exact location of this home: it sits so far out on a peak in the center of the beach that it is a really unique location by all means.

Goes to show how unique South Maui, specially Wailea & Makena really is. Start bargaining but be prepared to pay the price for paradise. During my time as a real estate agent many people have asked me for our real estate values. While you can always find good deals, Maui is simply not like any other market. We are paying close to $4 per gallon of gas and we can go swimming in the ocean all winter long.

Happy New Year & the Best for 2008
