What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 26% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 23.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 100% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (59/100; U.S.: 54) (as of Mar 2026): homes sell for about 10.6% below their final list price (as of May 2026); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%) (as of Jan 2026).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 17% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $59k 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 $157 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −2% to +15% over the next 12 months (87% chance of a rise).
