What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 33% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 2.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 6% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−17% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (89/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 3.6% below their final list price; 15% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 35% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $70k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,147 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $289 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding. Flood isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +8% over the next 12 months (59% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
A rise is somewhat more likely than a fall, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −8.2% to +8.2% (80% range; middle estimate +1.3%), chance of a rise 59%, of a 5%+ drop 18%.
