What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+5% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are up 8.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 43% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+150% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (95/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 8.5% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 26% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $44k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,583 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $135 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 (56% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
