What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 81% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 2.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 9% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+54% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (34/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 0.7% below their final list price; 34% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 27% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $61k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,198 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $117/mo less than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $167 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +10% over the next 12 months (66% chance of a rise).
