What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 57% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 2.9% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 66% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm, so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (89/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.8% below their final list price; 24% 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 $76k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,512 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $561/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $135 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 (69% chance of a rise).
