Hotel-Zoned Condo Across from Beach in Kihei! South Maui New Listings 2024 | Kihei Condos and Homes
You want to sell property in Hawaii…….YOU BETTER CUT YOUR ASKING PRICE IN HALF OR MORE!!! The natives LOVE THIS!!!!!
The only people who will be holding this bag of sheeit are the white land owners!!! Sell your homes to the locals!!! Then …..NEVER RETURN!!!!! WE USED TO SPEND XMAS ON THE ISLANDS……BUT BABE…….LET THE NATIVES FLOUNDER ON THEIR OWN!!!!!aloha
Do all the math you like, it's easier than that, take units off the market, the demand for the available units goes up, up goes the prices. As the prices go up, tourists go elsewhere. It's the small local businesses that hurt most. When we visit Maui, we go shop local exclusively. The prices where we stay (in the hotel/condo zone) has tripled. Sadly, may be time to go elsewhere.
Great marketing and a great team! I don’t have a Maui property though…yet…maybe someday…I almost bought a home in Houston Texas in June but I couldn’t handle the high temperatures near 100* no matter where you are. Than after I canceled (I was the 3rd buyer to do so) the neighborhood got hit with a hurricane and some of the beautiful tall pines fell through 2 homes and 2 women in 2 separate homes unfortunately died. I loved staying in Kapalua villas but it would take everything I have to buy one at 65 years of age. Maybe someday…I’m also thinking of Central Europe now too though…Keep the listings coming! Thank you!
Jesus…..you people are slow!!!! You’ve got to house the workers, who will be Korean and Philippine, on a ship anchored in Lahaina harbour and not cannibalize your vacation rentals!!! Affordable housing????? Affordable to who???? Some low life????
Nice. Thank you.
My Buyer's Agent found a home listed in the newspaper and decided not to show it to me because it was a FSBO, and the owner was not offering a commission. I also found that home in the newspaper and asked my Buyer's Agent about it. Long story short, I bought that home and directly paid my Buyer's Agent. I will never again use agents. It was in the year 2000 for $215000 in Longmont Colorado, when interest rates were 7.25%. Now, it's worth about $500000 and I recently paid it off completely after cash-out refinancing it several times.
Aloha Michelle and Michelle - Mahalo for the tour 🤙🏽
This bill is clearly pushed and financed by the hotel lobby . Maui residents should be allowed to vote on it.
😂 you don’t think residents will support this?
Hello, Tom Tezak - Lifestyle Maui Team-How are you?? Hope you are well, recently I have looked to your channel. And saw that in your channel have many many problems, for this reason channel videos not getting much engagements. Not growing, If you can solve these problems, channel will grow, You want to know these main main problems??? I can tell if you want to know. here or in email!! Where?????
You guys are speaking too rationally. The truth is the local red shirt protestors’ objective is to reduce tourists and drive away mainland property owners, even if it means at the expense of destroying the local economy. That’s the insanity of the movement
Let's forget about the money and take care of the local people who have lost their homes. This guy from the mainland doesn't understand that.
Money hungry greedy mainland ers. Shame on all of us.
"It's time for this home to go to its new ownership so it can really live its glory of the location and property that it is." If ever you thought realtors spoke SENSE>
Not all haoles are like these two jackasses. We’re not all greedy money hungry thrives and liers. If half the tourist and half the illegals left we’d all be better off for it. Maui used to be great but people like this have ruined it.
You’re totally wrong. The homes will always need upkeep no matter who lives there. Who do you think is going to fix them anyway if there is no place to live. I’ve been here forty years and now raising a foster child and facing eviction. FROM THE DLNR. MAUI AND THE STATE OF HAWii. I don’t give a rats ass about your little rental business the people can moved here to get away from greedy people like you. Houses are for the people not the corporations. Sfb
Watching your discussion and agree with you completely. Unfortunately, we are not rich and barely make ends meet with our STR. The small income we were making is supplementing our Social Security income. This is a family heirloom in our family. The market has dropped so much because of this that we are now going backwards because no one is coming to the island for vacation. What can we do? We can’t sell it as it is a family heirloom. Plus it isn’t going to sell because of what’s going on. We can’t wait along time for the economy to change. We will go bankrupt at this rate.
This! Question is what are the residents voting for? The mayor and governor know but everyone else is pitted against each other without knowing their agenda. A vote "for" or "against" may be a vote for things we know nothing about
You didn't even address the likely financial outcome for many of these units. For example my son owns a 460 sq ft studio condo in a west Maui building that is almost all short term rentals. The current HOA fees are $1250 per month. Current taxes are $665 per month (assessed valuation is about $640,000) and insurance is about $100 per month. That adds up to about $2015 per month. In addition he pays a management company to handle the leasing, cleaning, etc. that takes about 25% of what he receives in room charges. The most net income he ever got in a year was about $50,000 (about 7.8% return) and he's owned the unit through Covid and the aftermath of the fires where he had all the same expenses and no money coming in. As a long term rental the taxes would drop to about $160 for a total cost of about $1510. He doesn't have a mortgage. Long term rents for units this size seem to be about $2300 per month. He would have to hire a management company to manage the property at about 10% of the rent ($230). So he would end up with total costs of about $1740 per month for rent of $2300 and a gross profit of $560 per month or about $6720 per year on a property worth $640,000. That's a profit of about 1%. He'd be better off putting the money in a savings account. Most owners have a mortgage on their properties so they have a much higher cost and would be losing a substantial amount of money each month. Obviously no one can afford to own this property under these conditions. In addition the building is over 50 years old and will be in need of a number of expensive repairs in the next few years so the owner's costs will go higher. Let's say the value of these properties collapse and now a "lucky" Maui resident can buy it for the new bargain price of $350,000 with a 6% mortgage for 80% of the sales price. They somehow come up with $70,000 down payment and then have a monthly payment of about $1675 per month, plus the HOA fees of $1250 plus the $100 insurance and their new cost is $3000 per month for that same 460 sq ft condo. The condo has only one small closet since it was designed for long term living. And as the building continues to age the upkeep costs will increase and the condo resident owners will have pay for all those increased costs. But at least they have a place to call their own right? Since the costs to live there are so high they will struggle to be able to meet those costs and the units are likely to fall into disrepair. And those people who have worked hard for years and had already were able to buy a place of their own may find that the value of their home has dropped to less than they paid for it. Of course that assumes that they didn't have a job that relied on tourism so they didn't lose their job or have their hours reduced because their boss lost business. And assumes the increase in tax rates that are inevitable for the lost tax revenues from the STR properties. And this also assumes that the STR owners aren't able to get a restraining order to stop the new regulations while they fight it in court for many years. Meanwhile the FEMA leases expire and they are right back in the same place they were after the fire, because the county STILL hasn't done anything real to build more affordable housing.
If you remember Mayor Bissen’s campaign for Mayor during the last election, I don’t believe he ever said he was running for all the people on Maui, but for the Kanaka Māori, and you aren’t included in that group, as well as most owners of STR properties.
AND…..you’ve got a dumpy old house next door!!!!! NOBODY SELLS AN EMPTY HOUSE IN HAWAII!!!! THERES NO WAY TO GET RID OF THE FURNITURE!!!!!!! aloha
20000000 condo??? How about a 90 000 3 bedroom home?????????? Jesus…..I’ll bet there’s a stampede by the locals to steal this cozy little condo!!! Room enough for 10 local families to move in together!!!!!
so people that knew that this bill would be approved and applied for permit months in advance are the ones that qualify for this?
Great job Tom.
The government is doing excatly whats needed Don't like it Theres the door All you foreigners need to understand Only you guys want Don't want this All the local people want this. The mayor is a former judge He knows the law more then any of you. All the prices will drop. Yeah the last 40 years Our politicians sold out
Unfortunately they did not have enough interest in the property and they decided to not go with the auction. It is still available for sale.
What were the results of the auction?
Just wondering, what happens if the tenant improves their income do they get evicted after they have been a good tenant?
That is a great question...It is probably something you would have to take up with the Grant Administrator
Short term rentals have driven up the cost real estate on Maui. Residents are competing against entrepreneurs that that see residential properties as a business proposition.
I disagree, the lack of good county leadership creating a path to permanent affordable housing supply has caused the problem...we have a supply problem and that is a result of poor government leadership over the past 20 years not planning for this. Paul Brewbaker has been telling the mayors office for 20 years we need more housing but no one listened.
Thank you 🏖️🏖️💕💕💕💕💕
I live on Maui Island born and raised here
Too bad most home owners can’t take advantage of this as it requires that you already have an approved permit and building plans in hand in order to apply for it.
Better sell fast prices are falling
Most people there are all about full Governmental control.
Ever notice how Bissen just loves to be in the Lime light and on T.V. news Fake Smiling and hugging his people as if he's the Hawaiian Native Son Savior and hero of the day, He's on an Ego trip whose position as Mayor fuels his Fantasy Trip that he is actually the Native Hawaiians Spirit Savior reincarnate, but He's actually just a good ole Hawaiian Con. 😮
Remember how insulting Bissen Treated his own Olowalu People? Back Stabbing them! Never consulting with them First before he went ahead behind then Backs to get the States Approval for installing the Dump in Olowalu! Bissen never cared about them or the ocean habitat ! He's no good! He's a traitor and a thug Player. who belongs in a Lockled cage For Vipers! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Mayor Bissen must have strong ties to a group of Thug corruptors, He Failed miserably to Protect the safety and the Lives of all Lahaina Residents on The day of the Fire. Early morning 8/08/23, he failed to call a state of emergency, he failed to call out National Guard troops, he failed to immediately Fully activate the EOC= Emergency operation Center, he failed to call HECO into the EOC, he failed to have HECO clear Power Poles and Lines Off Lahainas main Evacuation Escape route out via HWY 30 South and let eleven hours Lapse, Keeping it closed 5:51 AM to 5pm! Until a lower level Police Officer had to order HECO crews/work trucks OFF Evacuation Lanes and order them to open it up, to stop the Trap! Bissen Failed to order all high level Police and Fire Chiefs into the EOC, Bissen Failed to Sound the sirens The whole 12 Hour time period while Fire raged killing people, he also failed to Be Present in the EOC with Keen pro-active interactions and responses, he remained complacent ignoring All what was going on with the Firestorm. As he was nonchalantly and oddly going to the Doctors during the crisis, 69 people who needed warning and rescue, were burning to death, as he told the state Lahaina did. not need assistance! Do any of you See his complacency and abnormalacy and ignoring of all safety Protocol a problem? Does it dawn on you, he actually intentionally waited and wanted the town unwarned and completely leveled Before he signed the state of Emergency Papers at 8:00 pm. what of his Deadly Memo at 4:56pm Telling people to endanger then lives by sheltering in Place in a Firestorm! Is He a crazy Psychopath?? I believe his actions and abnormal response indicates that he was a part of a Arson Attack on Lahaina, he was a part of a pre-planned gridlock Trapping of the People which resulted in great suffering and death, So, now you all think mayor Bissen is now hot capable af screwing All of you over, too? He's capable! Yes, him and his crony Thug Dogs are not done yet, I guess death and destruction and foreclosures are not enough for them, it is now time for him and his dogs, rip into your Financial holdings and Level you and it, until they get yours, too! Answer: Recall his Ass.
Thanks Tom for keeping us informed. Of course there is a hidden agenda. Bissen is representing the big money interests, not the people of Maui.
How about speaking out for local residents no one has ever cared until now!! I approached I approached the former mayor at Saint Teresa's in Kihei and complained about and complained about why he hasn't done anything to help the locals with housing or affordable affordable homes or rentals and all he said was well his kids can't afford to live here either!! It's so much BS!! Who is ever telling truth and really has Maui residents best interest rather than the wealthy Realtors and investors... Making profits....same as BlackRock and Vanguard....all about profits not about making a better and affordable community!!
What is your solution? Where you live relies on tourism. If you take away the tourism, where is your government supposed to get revenue from for low cost housing? It’s easy to yell at people. Put an alternative solution in the conversation.
BS!! How about speaking out for local residents no one has ever cared until now!! I approached I approached the former mayor at Saint Teresa's in Kihei and complained about and complained about why he hasn't done anything to help the locals with housing or affordable affordable homes or rentals and all he said was well his kids can't afford to live in Hawaii either even though one of them was a professional baseball player!! Wow!!! So so much BS who is ever telling truth and really has Maui residents best interest rather than the wealthy Realtors and investors... Making profits....same as BlackRock and Vanguard....all about profits not about making a better and affordable community!!
This is first time I'm speaking out... And I'm all about providing homes for the local residents!!! We came from Virginia where they provided much housing being a "commonwealth state" it's very interesting how everyone is coming out of the woodwork about losing money in their vacation rentals all about prophet but what about the housing that was never available even for us when we first moved here!! We rented from a realtor at at a higher cost than a mortgage would be. I have 3 graduates from Maui high They will never be able to afford a house here... I see all the new developments from the developer town we had to wait... Through five or six lotteries to be chosen to get a house in Wailuku where you have many VIP s like the police Chief from Vegas getting the most expensive home with best view over 1.4 million!! Maui real estate and development is absolutely so unfair and it's corrupt!!! The local residents should be looked after and also be able to afford after living here and working all their life!!! It's absolutely disgusting!! So now all the Realtors including Eric West.. . You are all speaking out because it's your bottom dollar it's not about the local residents affording decent homes or EVEN rentals!!! Think about it!!! Government is helping so many millions of illegal immigrants all over United States BUT no help for Lahaina or all of Hawaii!! Many live in poverty!! There is NO middle class ...it's definitely disappearing!! Very very SAD with 5 children and a sad future for them to have the " American dream!" We all work so so hard for
Climate Change is making weather events more extreme. This will impact the worlds food supply. Floods, droughts, fires, excessive heat, snow storms and low water levels in reservoirs and in ground water storage are becoming more common. We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire. Stop building and financing more coal fossil fuels power plants. Time to go all in on wind and solar energy, battery storage and electric vehicles. Fossil fuels are a bad investment for people and the planet. The cost of dealing with the impact of climate change will be greater than the cost of reducing the impact.
Maui has figured out the perfect system to stymie all development (aside from luxury housing) while pretending to support affordable housing. They have'nt developed water delivery systems, they don't turn government-owned, entitled property over to developers to build affordable housing, and those affordable housing developers that have tried have been burned by our County, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you're wondering why the housing project for West Maui fire victims went to felon Paul Cheng ($68 million) instead of an honest developer, it's because the good ones have all left the room. Including one born and raised here, that develops affordable housing on the Mainland, but not here.
Tom, in addition to owning a home in Kai Malu, we also own an STR at Maui Kamaole. I am not in favor of converting Maui Kamaole to a condotel or any other use. As LegalTyranny stated, below, the Constitution is on our side. Let's not negotiate against ourselves. There is no compromise. We will win in court, if it ever got that far.
@@joegatlin534 i agree that zoning conversion undermines the power of the 7,000 owners… i am just trying to put out the information i am hearing and do the best job i can to interpret what i am hearing
@@LivingInMaui Thanks, Tom. Appreciate your doing that. The law is on our side, but I hope we don't have to go there.
Rezoning will not happen because it would have to be approved by the same clowns trying to shut down STR's.
Mahalo for your updates! How about those resort complexes that are under two zones (apartment & hotel)? I think there are a few that fall under those categories.
Very peaceful and relaxing place to live❤
Government doesn't get to tell you how to use your property period, end of discussion. Property rights are protected under the 9th amendment.
I don't think most people want a gas station to open in the middle ofva suburban single family neighborhood.
@@davewil3 So don't give them your money. Business owners comprehend the importance of location. It's also why you wouldn't have strip clubs opening up across from an elementary school.
You are talking about a population that is effectively about to confiscate hundreds of millions in wealth from the legal owners. Very likely they are too far gone to reach.
Changing zoning would possibly change the taxes ….but really most of these condos effectively were built as resorts with pools, tennis courts etc etc
@@stickbrick8219 actually these are all currently tax at the highest rate just like the hotel zone properties, so the tax ramifications would be insignificant from my understanding of the current tax law
The worst thing about Hawaii is democrats control it and are shitting it up
