Protect Your Vacation Condo’s Equity Before It’s Too Late

If you own a vacation property here on Maui, what you do in the next few months could mean a difference of tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars to your bottom line.

The alternative to doing nothing is watching your equity evaporate if new regulations take hold (keep reading for the details).

Should You Keep Your Vacation Condo?

You’ve worked hard to own a vacation property, and have likely cherished it for many years. If you love it and can afford it, you should definitely keep it.

But what if...

You are concerned about short-term rental regulations?
Your property is worth more than you paid, and you need the cash for something more important?
You are tired of monthly expenses like management and maintenance fees?
You have upcoming property assessments for roofs, plumbing, or deferred maintenance?
Your insurance and taxes keep going up?

Owning a vacation property can be rewarding, but it can also overwhelm you with bills, expenses, and the stress of being a landlord.

As you are probably aware, right now, there’s a serious change looming that could dramatically affect your property’s value, especially if it's on the Minatoya List, which is Maui's list of grandfathered vacation rental complexes.

Proposed vacation rental ban

County officials are actively considering a ban on vacation rentals in Minatoya List complexes, which comprise over 7,100 separate units. The ban is gaining strong political support due to the island's housing crisis.

Details are still being worked out, but if passed, thousands of owners just like you could lose the ability to legally rent their properties short-term.

And when that happens?

Our prediction is that many people will rush to sell at the same time.

When inventory floods the market, prices almost always drop, in some cases very quickly. We expect this inventory to affect the market beyond vacation rentals, putting pressure on prices in all residential categories, including hotel zoned condos, single family homes and owner-occupied complexes.

You still have a window to act, but it won’t last long

The good news for owners is the ban hasn’t passed yet, and even if it does, it looks like it will not be implemented immediately. However, I need to stress, if you think you will want to sell in the next few years, right now is the time to act.

If you wait until there are another 500 to 1,000 (or more) condos on the market, prices will certainly be lower, and you'll have a lot more competition.

But right now, even though values are slightly down, you have a good chance of protecting your existing equity instead of watching it evaporate.
