Aloha & Good Morning!
Today's forecast for Maui will sunny with a
high of 86 degrees!
Ever wonder what the ultra-luxury
market on Maui looks like? Maybe it is
your dream Maui address or maybe you are in the market for one of these
multimillion dollar estates. Either way,
you will want to take a quick look at the pictures in these listings.... they
are truly breathtaking!
This first listing was
recently featured in ocean Home Magazine's August/September 2013 issue as one
of the Top 10 Homes For Sale in the U.S. and it was placed there because of the
spectacular views of the ocean. With an asking price of $20.88 million dollars
you can see what a piece of the very high end market looks like.
Just down the street is
a second listing that was listed this spring with an asking price of $28
million dollars.
Beyond these luxury
listings, Maui county has so much news going on right now. Both in the real estate circles and the
economy which includes our tourist industry.
I want to share with you some of the local news.
