What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 25% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are down 19.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 25% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 75% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−67% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (19/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 15.8% below their final list price (as of May 2026); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 19% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $22k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,261 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $292 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 −9% to +8% over the next 12 months (55% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
A rise is somewhat more likely than a fall, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −8.6% to +7.7% (80% range; middle estimate +0.7%), chance of a rise 55%, of a 5%+ drop 19%.
