• Valuation. Prices are 11% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
• Prices. Home values are up 1.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 7% below their 2022-23 peak.
• Supply. There are 11% 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 (94/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.7% below their final list price; 19% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
• Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 38% 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 $1,514 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
• Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $327 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from wildfire. Check insurance costs before buying.
