What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 101% 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%), but still 6% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 53% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−36% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (72/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 12.8% below their final list price; 31% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 85% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $77k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,345 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $236 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding. Flood isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −5% to +11% over the next 12 months (75% chance of a rise).
