What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (−4% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are down 6.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 9% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 64% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−13% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (42/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 3.9% below their final list price; 16% 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 $52k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,261 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $61 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (67% chance of a rise).
