What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 30% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are up 5.3% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 25% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+50% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (85/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 4.8% below their final list price (as of Apr 2026); 50% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 14% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $68k 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 $156 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −5% to +11% over the next 12 months (74% chance of a rise).
