Baker City, OR metro housing market

What this means

• Prices. Home values are up 0.7% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
• Supply. There are 7% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+10% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
• Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (100/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 7.6% below their final list price; 33% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
• Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 37% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $74k 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 $128 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
• Outlook. No clear direction: likely −9% to +6% over the next 12 months (49% chance of a rise).
