What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 22% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 1.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 5% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 6% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−6% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (96/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 5.5% below their final list price; 20% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 57% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $175k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $3,980 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $2,049/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $280 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 −7% to +10% over the next 12 months (68% chance of a rise).
