Aloha! Happy Hump Day from Maui 🌺
In this episode of the Maui Hot List Hulahan, Jonny B and Danny break down why buying real estate on Maui is more about **elimination** than "finding the perfect place." Using Jonny’s West Side surf check at Ironwoods as the perfect analogy, we explain how the right decision comes from ruling out what doesn’t fit—so you buy with zero regret.
Plus, we dive into the fresh 2026 Maui property tax assessments:
- Shocking value corrections on some TVR/STRH condos (drops of $170K–$300K+)
- Why assessed values can differ wildly on nearly identical units
- Homestead exemption vs. long-term rental exemption strategies
- What every owner and buyer needs to check on their paperwork right now
We also run through the latest **Maui Hot List** — active, pending, and recently sold properties across Wailea, Kaanapali, Lahaina Shores, Kihei, Upcountry, and more. From luxury oceanfront to smart value plays, we share honest insights on pricing, maintenance fees, litigation risks, and what’s actually moving in today’s market.
Whatever your intention is, this episode gives you the mindset + market intel to make confident decisions on Maui.
