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 1.6% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 4% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+41% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (98/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 9.7% below their final list price; 30% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 11% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $18k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,018 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $248 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding. Flood isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −10% to +7% over the next 12 months (46% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
A fall is somewhat more likely than a rise, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −9.8% to +6.5% (80% range; middle estimate −0.5%), chance of a rise 46%, of a 5%+ drop 24%.
