What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+4% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are up 4.8% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 20% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−6% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (56/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 3.0% below their final list price; 9% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 21% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $57k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,696 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $87 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −6% to +11% over the next 12 months (74% chance of a rise).
