What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (−5% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are down 1.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 13% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 45% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+40% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (45/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.6% below their final list price; 13% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 13% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $27k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $995 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $94 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +9% over the next 12 months (61% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
A rise is somewhat more likely than a fall, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −7.8% to +8.5% (80% range; middle estimate +1.5%), chance of a rise 61%, of a 5%+ drop 17%.
