Lahaina Recovery Update — January 2026

Lahaina’s recovery continues into 2026 with real progress underway — and real uncertainty still shaping daily decisions for families, property owners, and the broader community.

In this January 2026 Lahaina Recovery Update, I walk through the most recent information shared at the county level, along with reporting from the Hawaiʻi Journalism Initiative, to explain what’s actually happening on the ground — beyond the headlines.

This episode covers:

• The latest FEMA temporary housing timelines and what the February 28 deadline means for nearly 1,000 households
• Progress on permanent housing, including permit activity and reconstruction numbers — and how that compares to the 2,200 structures lost
• The completion of debris monitoring and what that milestone represents
• Current conditions along Front Street and Lahaina Harbor
• A candid discussion about the challenges facing makai Front Street property owners and why time, clarity, and transparency matter

This is a talk-story style update — focused on context, nuance, and the lived reality of recovery — not speculation or sound bites.

If Lahaina is home to you, or close to your heart, I hope this helps you better understand where we are today and what lies ahead in the months to come.

Mahalo for listening.

The Maui real estate market didn’t collapse in 2025, but it didn’t behave the way many expected either. Single-family homes found a fragile balance, while the condo market went through a much sharper reset. Beneath the headline numbers, the data reveals a market that is segmented, uneven, and still searching for equilibrium.

This episode looks at:

• How single-family homes and condos performed very differently in 2025
• Why the market felt “stable on paper” but chaotic in practice
• Where buyers gained leverage and where sellers still held ground
• The impact of inventory, pricing psychology, and quiet price corrections
• How policy decisions, insurance costs, HOA fees, and financing constraints are shaping today’s market
• What these trends suggest as we head into 2026

The takeaway is simple: this isn’t 2022 anymore. The people who understand what actually happened in 2025, beyond the headlines, will be best positioned for what comes next.

If you’re buying, selling, or simply keeping a close eye on the Maui real estate market, this report is designed to provide clarity, not noise.

2025 was not a normal year for Maui real estate — and it still isn’t.

In this year-end wrap-up, Lahaina Lee breaks down what actually happened in 2025, what mattered most beneath the headlines, and what buyers, sellers, investors, and property owners should realistically be watching as we move into 2026.

This is not a prediction video.It’s a reality check.

In this episode:
• How Bill 9 moved from debate to law — and why its real-world impact is still unsettled
• What the TIG Report revealed when math finally entered the policy conversation
• Lahaina recovery: progress made, and how far there still is to go
• Maui’s economy — improved, flattened, and fragile
• Why there is no single “Maui market,” only micro-markets
• What changed for investors when risk stopped being theoretical
• Why clarity matters more than optimism heading into 2026

This episode is designed to be useful, not promotional — grounded in local experience, data, and context.
