The Realtors Association of Maui posted their official January Maui Real Estate statistics towards the end of last week. There was one difference between what they posted and what I posted in the Unofficial January Stats. I actually had three more condo sales in my numbers than they have included in their numbers.

Of course, the official stats also provide a little more granularity with information on closes down to the community level. RAM executive Terry Tolman also provides his usual commentary. One thing to note in this month’s official stats is that this was the first month in a while where we saw a healthy increase in inventory. This is in part a seasonal trend as sellers try to take advantage of buying season. That being said, this is a trend to watch over the next few months.
