What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 99% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are down 4.2% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 12% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 74% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+13% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (72/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.8% below their final list price; 24% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 29% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $60k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,750 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $323/mo less than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $106 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −9% to +8% over the next 12 months (55% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months

A rise is somewhat more likely than a fall, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −8.7% to +7.6% (80% range; middle estimate +0.6%), chance of a rise 55%, of a 5%+ drop 20%.
