What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 9% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are up 3.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 7% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 45% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−26% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (39/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 6.3% below their final list price; 12% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 36% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $91k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,145 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $188 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −7% to +10% over the next 12 months (68% chance of a rise).
