As 2013 came to a close, it proved to be another marked step in the Maui real estate recovery's cycle. And as metrics across every micro-market reflected a positive trend, it is worth noting that affluent buyers are coming back to the Valley Isle with increased confidence. In 2012, there were 7 sales of Single-Family Residences above $5M, which increased by 57% in 2013 to the 11 sales.

With continued interest on Maui by well-heeled buyers, let us look at the Top 5 sales for residential-use properties on Maui - to include both Single-Family Residences and Condominiums.

1 - 3116 South Kihei Road

Sales Price: $11.9M

Located on one of the most famed beaches in the world, Keawakapu Beach, 3116 S. Kihei Road is one of the most sought-after properties on Maui due to its idyllic location. The 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom home offering 2,792 square feet was built in 1970 and for most, the value of this property is in the land - with over 3/4 of an acre, it's easy to see why. Arguably the best parcel, on the best beach, on the best island - selling for $11.9M, it could be viewed to be well worth the price due to its rarity.

 2 & 3 - Andaz Residences

Sales Prices (respectively): $11.395M & $10.73M

Since its introduction, the Andaz Maui at Wailea has attracted affluent visitors looking for a different luxury experience in the Wailea resort. And the announcement that 12 Villas would be available for sale was well received as its value proposition is so unique - the convenience and comfort of a 5-star resort, with one of the best beaches in South Maui as the backyard, combined with the exclusivity of ownership in one of the most sought-after properties in the world. As such, it came as no surprise that the two most premium units, Villas D-1 and D-2, sold for $11.395M and $10.73M respectively, setting a high mark in the Wailea real estate market.
