What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 14% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are up 5.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 33% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+76% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (80/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 2.4% below their final list price; 34% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 17% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $37k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,640 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $303 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding. Flood isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +8% over the next 12 months (56% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
A rise is somewhat more likely than a fall, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −8.5% to +7.8% (80% range; middle estimate +0.8%), chance of a rise 56%, of a 5%+ drop 19%.
