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 2.9% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 15% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 20% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+33% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (30/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.0% of list) (as of Jun 2026); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 25% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $66k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,892 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $115 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −10% to +7% over the next 12 months (49% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
A fall is somewhat more likely than a rise, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −9.6% to +6.8% (80% range; middle estimate −0.1%), chance of a rise 49%, of a 5%+ drop 22%.
