What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+1% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are up 6.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 38% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (29/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 3.1% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 17% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $52k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,514 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $143 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (63% 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: −7.4% to +8.9% (80% range; middle estimate +1.8%), chance of a rise 63%, of a 5%+ drop 15%.
