What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 13% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are up 2.3% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 10% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 29% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+125% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (62/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.4% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 18% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $36k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,653 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $123 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −9% to +7% over the next 12 months (53% chance of a rise).
