How does the current Maui real estate market affect Buyers and Sellers?

The busy winter selling season goes into full swing in just about a month. We should see more inventory as the season approaches. Properties priced well are receiving multiple offers. Overpriced homes are sitting on the market. Buyer’s should have their financial house in order to have the best negotiating position by getting a loan pre-approval if they are not paying cash. Seller’s should price their homes using recent comparable sales. Buyer’s are not willing to pay more than recent comparable sales in this market.
