Winter is upon us in Maui!

As September comes to a close and another Maui summer fades into the sunset. This is our slow season in fall, which is my favorite time of year.  Upcountry we have shower trees displaying an amazing array of colors, and you can feel the temperatures slightly changing.

The beaches are a lot quieter, and the winter season of surf on the north shore is already happening.  Many travelers know this is a great time to visit Maui. The northern regions are already snowing, like Colorado has had some early snow.  This is the beginning sign to people in the mainland its time to be thinking about Maui.

Already in Haiku we are noticing winter rains starting to pick up.  For me this is a bonus because this makes my garden really happy.  With the gentle rain comes bountiful crops of Papayas and fresh veggies from my garden. 

What we are seeing this year is buyers taking advantage of great Maui real estate prices.  Maui was slow into catching up with the mainland market in price corrections.  Now we are seeing prices adjusting to the reality of the market.  This is a great time of year to be on Maui.  Travel deals with the airlines and hotels are an exceptionally good.

So for me I am going to enjoy fall on Maui.  The weather is perfect, the surf is going off. There are some great Maui real estate values, and the real estate market is picking up. 

So if Maui might be your next destination to call home.  Give me a call, with over 36 years on Maui, and 15 years a Maui Realtor serving all Maui.  I would love to help you realize your dream on Maui.

Aloha,

Magical Maui Island have you ever been experienced!

I can't tell you how many times I have talk to people about how lucky we are to own Maui real estate in the Hawaiian Islands. People are drawn to Maui for diffenent reasons.  Some are looking for the mystical Maui experience.  I remember when I first came to Maui, I was looking to live in a grass shack on the beach.  Be able to get up each morning and paddle out and surf.  Ok let's throw in the beautiful island girl, and a cool pick-up truck. Lets roll the clock 36 years later, I did marry the beautiful island girl, my pick up truck is always loaded with windsurf or surfboards, but I can't afford to own on the beach.  Two out of three is not bad.

Over the years I look at all the different people that have been drawn to Maui.  Mark Twain, Jimmy Hendrix Rainbow Bridge, I have had the good fortune to meet Fleetwood Mack, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson is a fixture on Maui's north shore.  I always enjoy listening to people's stories, of why they came here.  Corporate giants cashing in their chips for a quiet life, no more business suits, instead a pair of slippers and shorts.  No more power lunches, instead lunch at Flat Bread Paia with your good friends.  Trade in the board meeting, for a good surf session on your surf board.

Then you have the second home folks.  They might be the snow birds, getting away from the winter weather.  Kihei and Wailea is a favorite for many.  A round of golf in Makena with the boys is a popular way to spend the morning.  I met a steady flow of migration part-time Mauiians.  You meet then at Kanaha Beach windsurfing and Kiteboarding.  They come here from all over the world.  I love it; you make friends with people from Germany, Italy, England, Canada and Japan.  Everyone is here enjoying the stoke of Maui with a big grin on their faces.  So what ever your reason is, Maui is always constant with perfect weather, great beaches and the land of Aloha. 

So if you are looking at calling Maui home.  Call me to help you find that perfect Maui home for sale or Maui Condominium.

Experience that makes a difference

Haiku, Maui offers a quieter life style of living.  As you are driving through Paia town, its a little busy being the little town it is.  Paia reminds me of living in Lahania in the early 70's, just a cool Maui beach town. 

 Paia Town, Sailboards Maui

So as I drive through Paia town with my mother in law, I mention to her how beautiful it is on the north shore.  My mother in law grew up in the plantation towns in Maui.  Her father worked in the sugar cane fields like so many others that migrated to Maui from China, Philippines, Portugal and Japan.  Paia has a charm that attracts so many people each year.  It used to be a town of locals, hippies and surfers.  As you drove through Paia you had to slow down so you would not run over the owners of Charlies restaurant dog in the middle of the road.  He was a big great Dane.  These days its a lot busier, you can't lay in the the road any longer.

As I drive past Hookipa Beach Park, I always slow down to check the surf, and watch the action.  My mother in law always remarks about the crazy people out riding the wind standing up.  What a foreign site to behold.  Our parents generation, pretty much worked hard all their lives, putting food on the table for their families.  These days people work hard, well not all people, and mix it up with their favorite activities. Today, the waves are small and just a couple windsurfers are out in the water being its the end of the day.  My truck is loaded down with windsurfing gear, having just finished a windsurfing session at Kahana Beach in town.  As we pass Hookipa, you have this over welling sense of the tropics hitting you, it just starts getting greener and more lush as you drive through Maliko Gulch.  The drive up Haiku Rd. is a long slow drive pass homes with tie leaves, tropical flowers, and palms. 

There is always a cool wind blowing, which is another thing I like about Haiku.  As we meander up the road, we pass the Baldwin Estate.  A beautiful 25 acre estate, with beautiful trees and lush vegetation.  This drive always brings me home from working in Wailea, on the south side.  Driving through Rice Camp, which is where my wife grew up, always brings back memories to my mother in law. 

 This was home to many plantation workers and there families.  My wife tells me stories of going to school bear foot and speaking pidgon.  That there was just a couple Haoles or white people in her school.  So heading home to Haiku, leaves me with a sense of belonging to a community that was established from hard working people, who also have stories of fighting in W.W. II.  There is a park in Haiku that was made to honor those in Hawaii who fought and died.  I love the old timers, if you have a minute to listen to them they all have a story to tell. Where their family came from, and how their journey change their lives in Hawaii. 

 Granddaughter Makenna

So for me, I feel blessed to be added to this legacy, passing it on to my kids and their kids. For me I left my home in California on my own in the early 70's to realize my dream.  Hawaii is very accepting, as it is made up of a melting pot of a sea of people.  Maui draws people from all over the world, if you listen they all have a story.  Isn't that what is its all about.  Ohana, family, friends and making new friends.  So if your ever visiting Haiku, slow down and take it in. You won't be disappointed.
