What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 82% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 9.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 78% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+45% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (68/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.0% of list) (as of Aug 2023); 10% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 28% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $52k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,262 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $91 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
