What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 42% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 11.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 14% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+56% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (85/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.7% below their final list price; 29% 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 $72k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,750 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $167 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155).
