What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 24% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 5.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 5% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 71% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+380% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (57/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.9% of list); 22% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 23% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $35k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,871 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $212 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from hurricanes.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −6% to +11% over the next 12 months (73% chance of a rise).
