What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 6% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are down 10.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 11% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 9% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm, so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (98/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 6.7% below their final list price; 24% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 22% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $31k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,470 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $424 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. No clear direction: likely −10% to +6% over the next 12 months (45% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months

A fall is somewhat more likely than a rise, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −9.8% to +6.5% (80% range; middle estimate −0.6%), chance of a rise 45%, of a 5%+ drop 24%.
