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 up 5.3% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 24% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+27% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (72/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.1% of list); 33% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 20% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $30k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $984 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $276 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 −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (63% 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: −7.4% to +8.9% (80% range; middle estimate +1.9%), chance of a rise 63%, of a 5%+ drop 15%.
