What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+3% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are flat over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 5% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 62% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−42% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (23/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (115.1% of list); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 18% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $28k 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 $217 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: −7.7% to +8.7% (80% range; middle estimate +1.6%), chance of a rise 61%, of a 5%+ drop 16%.
