Aloha from Kapalua!
As summer approaches, and the whales have begun their trip home, I thought I'd share with you a few photos that I took on my last whale watch of the season.

The big news in the Kapalua Resort is the upcoming sale of the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua Hotel by Lehman Brothers to pay creditors. It is anticipated that a call for offers will take place sometime toward the end of June. Media speculates that the hotel could fetch as much as $200 million, with Maui's visitor industry strengthening in 2011 and 2012. The offering includes the 73 unsold Residential Suites units, the 297 hotel rooms in the south wing, as well common areas and commercial spaces located on the 54 acre resort.

The sale of the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua is completely separate from the Residences at Kapalua Bay which was foreclosed on by the lender based Joint Venture in a court mandated confirmation in January, 2013. Prior to the confirmation hearing, the homeowner's association appointed Timbers Resorts as the interim management operator with a contract through June 30, 2013. It is anticipated that title will transfer in June, and that the operator will be confirmed very shortly. Once the process is completed, it is expected that sales of the unsold whole and fractional units will be relaunched sometime in the 3rd quarter. There are 56 unsold whole ownership Residences and 567 fractional interests.

New ownership of both properties is a positive direction for the Kapalua Resort, and I will continue to post updates to my Maui real estate blog. I am also continuing to compile an interest list of clients that would like to be kept updated as information is made available. If this is something you would be interested in, please contact me.

Initially, the 2013 West Maui real estate market lagged behind Wailea. Now, the Wailea, Kaanapali and Kapalua Resort markets are showing similar increases over the market in 2012: Sales Volume ($) is up in the resort markets (Wailea +31%, Kaanapali +20%, and Kapalua +26%), the average sales price is also up across the board (Wailea +15%, Kaanapali +31%, and Kapalua +23%). Oceanfront properties island wide are also up: Sales Volume is up 62% over this same period of time last year, and the Average Sale Price is also up 24%. The Maui Resort Real Estate Update follows below, including summaries of active listings, pending sales, year to date sales, and sales compared with the same period in 2012. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions!
