What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (−0% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are down 7.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 12% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 12% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−16% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (72/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 2.1% below their final list price; 21% 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 $32k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,696 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $95 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −9% to +8% over the next 12 months (56% chance of a rise).
