It took until the last day of the month, and a leap day for that matter, to finish this month’s Maui Market update. Consider it the byproduct of an author with listings at the far corners of the island. If only I could figure out how to dictate posts as I navigate another sharp turn and one-way section on the road to Hana. Without further ado, here is our overview of the January market activity and end-of-the-month inventory, followed by a few thoughts and observations.

While that post title fulfilled my fondness for alliteration, the subject matter wasn’t super intu ..read more
