What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+7% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are up 5.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 60% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+17% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (22/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 0.2% below their final list price; 14% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 62% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $228k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $3,027 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $102 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −3% to +13% over the next 12 months (82% chance of a rise).
