What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 22% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 11.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 78% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+13% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (2/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (104.2% of list); 6% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 59% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $448k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,018 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $8,134/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $150 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −1% to +15% over the next 12 months (87% chance of a rise).
