What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+5% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are up 7.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 4% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+16% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (58/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 21.2% below their final list price (as of Jul 2026); 11% 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 $1,640 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $109 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (65% chance of a rise).
