About this episode

You come home from Maui, and the trip should fade like every other vacation. For some people, it doesn't. Jon says that's the whole test.Still thinking about Maui weeks after you left? Let's talk it through. Book your Aloha Vision Quest: bit.ly/avq-bookingDanny's still cruisin' in Japan, and it turns into a real conversation about what actually separates someone who's just dreaming about Maui from someone who's ready to move on it. Johnny walks through a pattern he keeps running into with friends who want Maui but stall out before the first real conversation, and why sending a financing link isn't the answer anymore. Daniel breaks down why buyers freeze before that initial call, and Johnny shares the story of a card he got from a longtime viewer that changed how he thinks about the whole point of this channel.Then Johnny closes with the test that gives this episode its name. If Maui fades the moment your plane lands back home, that's telling you something. If it doesn't, that's telling you something too.From there we head into the Maui Hot List. A once-hot property is 364 days on market and $450,000 off its original price. We break down a Kula condo that finally found its price point, a KBR one bedroom that's dropped $80,000 and still hasn't moved, and why buyers at Maalaea Surf should think twice about the ground floor after the recent flooding. Danny also flags something we're seeing across the island right now: a wave of deferred maintenance turning up in inspections, and why water, not fire, might be the bigger long-term risk to a Maui property.E komo mai.
