What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+0% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are up 6.6% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 53% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (34/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 2.7% below their final list price; 29% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 24% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $54k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,514 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $216/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $139 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −4% to +12% over the next 12 months (79% chance of a rise).
