Aloha,

April in Maui represents transition in several ways. Our weather is transitioning as winter showers (such as they were) give way to longer, warmer (84 instead of 82), sunnier days and #30 sunblock sales accelerate. Our visitors are more likely to be family units enjoying Spring Break from schools on the Mainland, and the island takes on a more festive feel as the beaches fill up with lots of kids playing in the water and having a blast!

To some degree our Real Estate market is transitioning, also. For the last several months, our Canadian visitors have been actively viewing and buying many of our resort properties, benefiting from the strength of their dollar compared to ours, as well as prices that have adjusted as much as 30-40% from highs of 4-5 years ago. Unfortunately, as their homeland begins to thaw, our Canadian guests will be heading back and planning next year's vacation to Maui--many of them in their own units!

For this month's Featured Properties, please consider these well-priced Wailea and Makena properties:

MLS #343950--Wailea Elua's best buy--this 2BR/2BA, 1,500+ sq. ft., totally remodeled (and gorgeous) unit will not disappoint. Elua offers four swimming pools and 2 paddle-ball courts to embellish this beautiful ocean view unit. $1,788,000!!!

MLS #342878--Na Hale O'Makena may be Makena/Wailea's best kept secret, with its low density (only 40 units) and well-kept tropical environment. This 3BR/2.5BA includes elegant finishes and over 2,000 sq. ft. of living space. Sales over the past few years have averaged over $1,900,000, but this one can be yours for $1,495,000!!!

MLS #343641--Wailea Point, since its inception in 1985, has been considered the Grand Dame of Wailea condo complexes. It is rare to see one sold for under $2 million, but this 2BR/3BA ocean view unit is offered at the low price of $1,795,000!!!

MLS #346828--And if Wailea Point is your "thing", then step up to this beautifully remodeled (owners spent nearly $1 million in 2006 on the interior) and expanded front row unit overlooking pristine Polo Beach and blue, blue ocean, priced at $3,950,000!!!
