What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 25% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are up 2.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 5% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 43% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (97/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 13.5% below their final list price; 67% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 17% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $37k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,922 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $470 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from hurricanes. Check insurance costs before buying.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −6% to +11% over the next 12 months (72% chance of a rise).
