Redfin cited a $1.3 million median sale price (September 2025), up a real, disclosed, extreme 66.7% year-over-year -- a swing this record attributes to Makawao's thin luxury-tier sales volume rather than a stable trend (base record).
A genuinely uncompetitive market
Makawao's housing market scored 11 out of 100 on competitiveness ('not very competitive'), with homes selling in around 73 days at a median $773 per square foot (down 3.3% YoY) (base record).
Genuinely above national and Maui County norms
