What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 32% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 1.3% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 17% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+18% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (44/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.0% below their final list price; 28% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 32% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $72k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,265 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $565/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $102 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (64% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
