What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 49% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 5.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 65% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+17% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (73/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.0% below their final list price; 26% 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 $77k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,010 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $130 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +9% over the next 12 months (62% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months

A rise is somewhat more likely than a fall, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −7.8% to +8.6% (80% range; middle estimate +1.7%), chance of a rise 62%, of a 5%+ drop 16%.
