Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about buying, selling, and living on Maui — from Katrina Wilson, your local expert.

Q Is now a good time to buy or sell in Maui?

Maui's real estate market is driven by limited land supply, ongoing demand from mainland and international buyers, and the island's enduring desirability. While conditions shift with interest rates and inventory, Maui consistently holds its value over time. Get a free home valuation or contact Katrina for current market intel.

Q What is the difference between fee simple and leasehold?

Fee simple means you own the land and structure outright — the standard for most properties. Leasehold means you own only the structure and lease the land, typically for 55–65 years. Leasehold properties sell at a discount but carry financing and resale risks. Always verify ownership type before making an offer. Read the full buyer FAQ →

Q How much does it cost to sell a home on Maui?

Sellers on Maui typically pay 5–8% of the sale price in total closing costs, including agent commissions, escrow fees, title insurance, Hawaii conveyance tax, and the GET (General Excise Tax) on commission. Non-Hawaii residents are also subject to HARPTA withholding at close. Full seller FAQ →

Q Which Maui neighborhoods are best for families?

Kihei and Wailuku offer excellent public schools, community parks, and family-friendly pricing relative to resort areas. Upcountry communities like Pukalani and Makawao are popular for their cooler climate, strong schools, and spacious lots. Browse the Maui Schools Directory →

Q Can I buy Maui real estate from the mainland?

Absolutely. Many of Katrina's clients purchase remotely — she conducts video tours, coordinates inspections, manages all paperwork electronically, and guides buyers through every step from thousands of miles away. Hawaii has no residency requirement for property ownership. Start the conversation →

Q What are the best beaches near Wailea and Kihei?

South Maui is home to some of the island's finest beaches — Wailea Beach, Polo Beach, Kamaole I, II & III, and Makena (Big Beach) are all within minutes of each other. Protected, calm waters and consistent sunshine make this region a perennial favorite. Explore the full Beaches Directory →

Q How long does it take to close on a Maui property?

A typical Maui escrow runs 30–60 days from accepted offer to closing. Cash transactions can close in as little as 10–14 days. Financing, condo document review, and HOA approvals can extend timelines. Katrina coordinates closely with escrow and title to keep transactions on track.

Q Does Maui have good golf courses open to the public?

Maui has 12 major courses ranging from world-class resort layouts (Kapalua Plantation, Wailea Gold) to affordable public options like Waiehu Municipal Golf Course. Many are semi-private with public tee times available. Golf-course-view properties remain among Maui's most sought-after real estate. Browse the Golf Directory →
