What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 9% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are down 4.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 100% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−50% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (19/100; U.S.: 54) (as of Feb 2026): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.0% of list) (as of Mar 2026); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%) (as of Jan 2026).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 21% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $41k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,386 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $392 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 −6% to +10% over the next 12 months (70% chance of a rise).
