What’s Happening in Puamana? Your First Quarter 2020 Briefing

The sand has filled in, but it is quiet on the beach at Puamana – March 2020

The Puamana real estate market in the first quarter of 2020 has been a moving target! Puamana is very quiet as most visitors and Canadian owners have gone home due to the significant current events. All new arrivals must quarantine for 14 days. Kama’aina like us are staying indoors or going out for a quick surf when no one else is out. It is too early to see what the effects will be from Covid-19, but judging from past crises, our ‘Ohana will mobilize. Read my report after the last big snafu: West Maui Hurricane

We are organizing Puamana 3D Tours to respect the social distancing rules… Hawaii Life is a tech-enabled company, so we are able to assist you in buying or selling a property online using electronic signatures and video conferencing tools.

On a different note, I’ve been wondering if anyone knows why the Puamana buildings have such crazy numbers?  Why does it skip from 192 to 205? Why is 225 on the North side and 226 on the South side? Why no building 6, for example? Some say it’s the order the buildings were built… If you have a theory behind the Puamana building numbering system, comment on this blog below, and I will publish the answers in my next blog! or write to AnnaSeverson@HawaiiLife.com

Anna Severson – April 2020

Surfing, fishing, and exercise are considered essential activities on Maui during the current health crisis… I got in a quick surf in Puamana, April 1st, 2020 with no one else out while observing the shelter-in-place orders.
