Is the Big Island resort market slowing?

The market is moderating rather than slowing uniformly. Oversupply affected some resorts, while others remained constrained by limited inventory.

Are all Kohala Coast resorts experiencing the same conditions?

No. Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, and Mauna Kea each operate as distinct micro-markets with different absorption rates and pricing dynamics.

Why did private resorts outperform broader resort markets?

Private resorts are driven by lifestyle demand and scarcity. Limited inventory supported pricing even as overall transaction volume declined.

What matters most for buyers and sellers moving forward?

Resort-specific inventory levels, pricing accuracy, and understanding absorption rates are more important than headline market trends.
