Maui Hawaii South Shore Condo Listings Newsletter - March 2012
I have noticed a dramatic decrease in new condo listings this past month which could be the start of lower inventory. But I see from the February statistics that sales volume is down compared to last year at this same time, so maybe it will all even out. Time will tell. Let's take a look at what is actually selling. Listed below are any sales and pending sales from the past 29 days in the Kihei Wailea and Maalaea areas.

Maui embracing electric cars - charging station locations on Maui
Hawaii is in the perfect position to benefit from solar power, and here on Maui we are ready to start charging those electric cars that everyone wants to own. With some of the highest gas prices in the nation, we are motivated to find solutions to our driving needs.
- Better Place has recently installed 7 charging stations on Maui, and 130 across the state of Hawaii. Since pricing has not been set, they are offering free power-ups through the end of the year. This should encourage more car owners to make the switch to more environmentaly friendly choices. Charging locations on Maui include: The Four Seasons Resort in Wailea; Alamo Rent-A-Car in Kahului; Sheraton Maui Resort in Kaanapali; and Kahana Gateway Retail center.
- 5A Rent-A-Space in Honokawai recently announced they are testing their Level 2 car charging station. It should be ready for the public later this month. They installed almost 2000 panels (600 KW each) which power the retail store and the charging facility, with leftover power to feed back into the Maui Electric Company grid.

Paia Maui Fourth Friday celebration in February 2012 - Mardi Gras style
FOURTH FRIDAYS: Once a month the merchants in the little beach town of Paia Maui go out of their way to make a memorable event for island residents and visitors. Shops stay open late and special events are planned, including live music and entertainment. There are so many good restaurants offering everything from pizza to formal dining, that it just makes sense to spend a whole evening in town.
In February the theme was Mardi Gras which makes for a lot of fun. Check out this short and lively video produced by the son of a shop owner. You have to admit that Paia can really get rocking when the sun goes down.
I hope you enjoyed this little video slice of life from Paia Maui Hawaii. It's a culturally diverse town on the north shore of Maui where you never know what you'll see.
Looking for a home on the north shore of Maui? Please contact me and let me know you're in the market for some Paia or Haiku Maui Real Estate.

MAUI may very well be the Best Island in the World, according to Conde Nast magazine. I'm not going to argue about that.
As one of the Hawaiian neighbor islands, Maui is just a 20 minute plane ride from Oahu, which is the home for Honolulu and Waikiki Beach. Of course you can also fly directly to Maui to our big "city" Kahului. On a good day, you can take the Hawaii Superferry between the islands. The other islands in Hawaii are: the Big Island (Hawaii); Kauai; Molokai; Lanai. Molokai and Lanai are also part of Maui County.
Maui is a melting pot, with an international and multi-cultural population. In addition to the Polynesians who first came to the islands, you will find many other cultures well rooted here, such as Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Portuguese, Thai, and more. When the sugar and pineapple plantations ruled, migrant workers were brought in to work the fields, and diverse cultures flourished in this welcoming climate. Now that tourism is driving the economy, agriculture has taken a back seat. But the central Pacific location still makes this a perfect place for a cross-cultural community. It's all good.
Maui Hawaii - Visitors come to Maui for many reasons, including family vacations, weddings and honeymoons, golf and sports, and just plain health and wellness.
The Maui Visitors Bureau would like you to have an enjoyable time here in the islands, so please consult with them if you are planning your first trip. They can also help you with accommodations and cars.
If Hawaiian History interests you, be sure to see what the Maui Historical Society has going on with events, tours and projects.
The Maui Arts and Cultural Center is the place to find arts education and events, and our famous film festivals.
Maui has plenty of beaches to suit your activity level. Do you want to get out there and charge the monster waves at JAWS, or do you just want to relax with your toes in the sand?

PAIA relocation package ~ HAIKU relocation package ~ KIHEI/WAILEA relocation package ~ KAHULUI relocation package
I was Born in England, and grew up in the middle of Canada. After graduating from college in Vancouver B.C. I got married, and moved to Maui in 1980. My husband is a wonderful guy who introduced me to this incredible place called Maui. We tried living in a few locations like Upcountry and Kihei, and settled on the North Shore and bought our first Maui home in 1981. That was our beach house which we fixed up and eventually sold 22 years later. We now live on a farm in Huelo Haiku and have another property in Kailua where my husband ranches and raises organic beef. We live off the grid and love it, producing our own power supply from sun and wind. Rainwater is harvested and stored. Self sufficiency is a goal we have always worked towards.
As a Maui REALTOR®, I can help others who are looking to start over in a new place like Maui. I will listen to you and answer your questions. Tell me more about what you need and want in a property. I'm listening.

As a long time Maui resident, I know the territory well. I like to specialize in North Shore and Upcountry areas - Spreckelsville, Paia, Kuau, Kailua, Haiku, Makawao, Haliimaile, Pukalani, Kula, Keokea, Ulupalakua and Kanaio. And don't forget the "other upcountry" - Kahakuloa. Single family homes, country estates, oceanfront or vacant land, it's all right here.
I also cover the sunny South shore - Kihei, Maui Meadows, Wailea and Makena .... that's where the condos and resorts are! Some condos I really like are the beachfront ones like Polo Beach Resort, Wailea Ekahi, Makena Surf and Mana Kai on Keawakapu Beach. Whatever you're you looking for, I can help.
We are pioneers. We have built our own homes and created something from nothing. We enjoy a country lifestyle in the rural area of Huelo, Haiku. Haiku is mostly zoned Agricultural, so knowledge about that is important for first time buyers. Off Grid specialist, by experience. I speak HAIKU.
