What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 3325% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 2.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 50% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (2/100; U.S.: 54) (as of Aug 2024): homes sell for about 6.0% below their final list price (as of Dec 2024); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%) (as of Aug 2024).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 580% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $48k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,120 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $174 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).
