Whether you live on the island of Maui or live thousands of miles away, when you start looking into buying a piece of Maui property, you can do a great amount of research online. From night spots to weather patterns, you can find all the information at your fingertips! The following websites can be used during your South Maui property search, when you are looking for a home or condo in Kihei, Wailea and Makena. And no, these aren’t your usual real estate sites, because there’s more to a home search than real estate.
1 – www.VisitMaui.com – Sure, this is a site aimed at tourists. But if you plan on buying an investment property that will be leased out on a short term basis to Maui visitors, you want to see what those prospective tourists are seeing when they are looking into a trip to Maui. And there are tons of links to other helpful sites that will help you as you begin (and end) your property search.
2 – www.MauiOwnerCondos.com – If you don’t plan on using a property management company to handle your investment property, you can list your condo on this site. This site caters to the owners of vacation rentals and puts them in direct touch with prospective vacation renters. Renters can look for condos in Wailea, Kihei, Makena or Ma’alaea. There are pictures and descriptions of the condominium resorts and then individual listings of the available vacation condos. Square footage, price range and amenities are clearly identified.
3 – www.MauiMenusOnline.com – Everyone has to eat, and buyers who are busy searching for their next home or investment property need to keep their strength up!

Or if you are planning on making your South Maui home a vacation rental, this information is still good to pass along to your vacation renters.
