What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 28% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 19.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 78% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−40% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (28/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.7% below their final list price; 12% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 40% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $62k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,063 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $61 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −4% to +12% over the next 12 months (79% chance of a rise).
