South Maui Real Estate - Overview and Perspective

Bob specializes in South Maui Real Estate, particularly, Wailea Real Estate, with its 10 (soon to be 11) condominium communities and its 10 (soon to be 12) gated, ocean view residential subdivisions, and Makena Real Estate, with its outstanding oceanfront and beachfront homes, new planned communities of One Palau’ea Bay and Keauhou at Makena, and more. The individual complexes and subdivisions are discussed in greater detail in the individual pages on Wailea Real Estate and Makena Real Estate.


Another beautiful day in South Maui, this aerial view looks Northward over one of Makena’s two championship golf courses and, in the distance, Wailea and Kihei. It’s no wonder this land of beauty has been the world’s #1 destination for over a decade.

What surprises many people looking to buy property in Wailea and Makena is the significant increases in property values in recent years. Wailea and Makena Communities have grown at compounded annual growth rates of up to 20% since 1999. The paradigm for valuing Maui property places heavy emphasis on proximity to the ocean and ocean views. Oceanfront Homes can be worth over three times the value of a comparable home in an elegant neighborhood sitting a few hundred yards up on the slopes that favor Wailea and Makena with so many ocean views.

There are few places on Earth that compare to Wailea and Makena. With five championship golf courses between them, a world class outdoor tennis stadium, dozens of fine restaurants featuring a large variety of cuisines, miles of white and golden sand beaches, accented by coral encrusted lava fingers that reach out into the sparkling crystal blue and emerald green waters of the Pacific, and the comfort of a spacious lanai, relaxing in the soft cushion of a chaise lounge - it’s easy to understand why Maui is selected the #1 Island and overall destination by Conde Nast Travelers’ and the resorts and amenities of Wailea and Makena are ranked among the worlds best in related polls.


The ultimate in luxurious resort living; this beautiful home sits atop a lava rock point, just
feet from the rhythmic sounds of the pacific surf against the rocky shore. The view from
here?...Outstanding!

South Maui has something for all of us. Just North of Wailea is the town of Kihei. It was along the beaches of Kihei that the first homes, condos and shops in South Maui appeared. Over the last four decades, single shops have given way to small malls, with many quaint restaurants, boutiques and purveyors of every activity under the sun, from scuba diving to biking down Haleakala. There are beautiful beaches like Kalama Beach Park, Kalepolepo, Waipu’ilani and Kama’ole I, II & III and acres of parks with tree studded lawns, barbecues, horseshoe pits and volleyball courts.

Kihei is home to many wonderful Oceanfront and Beachfront condos which are selling at prices that offer the luxury of beachfront living for prices still under one million dollars. There are some great high rise (anything over two stories is a “high rise” on Maui) condominiums mainly along the Makai (seashore) side of South Kihei Road.
