James Campbell Company LLC , a $4.8 billion, nationally diversified real estate company based in Hawaii, announced today that Cameron Nekota and Jim Sullivan have been appointed to serve on its Board of Directors, effective May 6, 2022. 

Rent prices spiked over the first few months this year, with Maui seeing a 41% surge in asking prices compared with the same time last year, according to a new report from University of Hawaiʻi Economic Research Organization.

A $192 million Kahului plan to develop 300 affordable and market-rate units, along with a civic center for state office space, cleared a hurdle in the approval process.

The proposed 125-unit multi-family complex was floated in place of the proposed Wailuku Hotel concept that was met with community opposition in 2020.

As the third month this year to set a record for Maui County single-family home median sales price, April marked a new all-time high at more than $1.2 million. Meanwhile, inventory last month reached an all-time low and the existing units are selling “fairly quickly,” according to the Realtors Association of Maui report released Wednesday.

With enough water and funding, the state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands plans to add 66 agricultural lots — along with a cultural center, gardens, community buildings, an amphitheater, a local small business venue and native forest restoration  — on roughly 70 acres along Kula Highway in Kēōkea.

Saying that a much-needed affordable housing project in North Kihei shouldn’t be held up over county roadway requirements, Maui Planning Commission on Tuesday morning voted to pull the condition, allowing Hale Kaiola to move full-steam ahead. Hale Kaiola is a 100% workforce housing project with 20 duplexes containing 40 homes at the corner of Kaiola Place and ʻOhukai Road. Recently 40 local families were chosen via lottery of 117 applicants. Units will be owner-occupied with no rentals and start at $395,000.

It’s a race to open for five restaurant chains slated to launch along Ho’okele Street in Kahului. Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane’s, Sonic, Taco Bell and Teddy’s Bigger Burgers have each announced plans to open this year.

that the state has some of the most restrictive housing regulations in the nation, with Maui as the second most restrictive county in the state. Government regulations that limit the availability of the housing market to create new units is one piece of the puzzle that may explain Hawaiʻi’s home prices.

Homes and Land Magazine along with several invited sponsors, honored 2022 Maui’s Top 3% REALTORS (based on 2021 production). With over 1,900 agents, 58 of Maui’s top producing agents were gathered in the first person event since the in person restrictions due to the Covid mandates set by the County.
