Maui's single-family home and condominium market continued descending in June, according to statistics released yesterday by the Realtors Association of Maui.

Single-family home sales fell 18.4 percent from the year-ago month, to 62, and the median price dropped 17.6 percent, to $499,053. During the same period, condominium sales dropped 19.6 percent, to 45, and the median price fell 10 percent, to $520,000.

“;Similar to latest reports from many mainland markets, our market seems to be at or near the bottom,”; said Terry Tolman, RAM's chief staff executive. “;The large inventory includes many short sales and REO (bank-owned) properties which will need to be absorbed as sales before we can move ahead.”;

Year-to-date, single-family home sales have dropped 41 percent, to 285, and the median price has dropped 14 percent, to $510,000.

Condo sales have fallen 46 percent for the year, to 275, and the median price has dropped 29 percent, to $420,000.

“;Best deals are selling,”; Tolman said. “;Everything else is getting old.”;
