This Seller Wants $200,000 More Than Their Own Appraisal on Maui

This Maui seller is asking $200,000 more than their own appraisal says the home is worth. Jon and Daniel break down why that gap exists and what it tells you before you ever make an offer.Not sure if a Maui listing is priced to sell or priced to test the market? Grab an Aloha Vision Quest and we'll walk through it with you: bit.ly/avq-bookingIt's the Monday edition of the Maui Hot List Hulahan, recorded just after the third anniversary of the Lahaina fire. Jon opens with a personal reflection on aloha, humility, and what he learned from a friend's gentle check-in. From there, Daniel covers the recent primary election results, incumbents held their seats across the board, and what that likely means for the pace of change on Maui going into November.Then it's into the properties. This week's list runs from a raw ten acre parcel in remote Kaupo to a Napili Bay condo renting for $3,500 a month while listed at $549,000, a Kihei Bay Vista unit priced well above comparable listings that haven't sold, a Carvalho track home listed $200,000 over its own appraisal with a gate that doesn't connect to an actual driveway, and a Maui Lani listing with a single photo for two thousand square feet. Jon and Daniel talk through pricing strategy, STR timelines through 2031, golf course view discounts that would be premiums on the mainland, and what a long days-on-market number is really telling you.If you've been following along and thinking about your own Maui move, this is the kind of read-between-the-lines thinking we walk every AVQ client through before they ever write an offer.Ready to make your own move?
