What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 97% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are down 2.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 22% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−18% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (90/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 6.6% below their final list price; 23% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 20% 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 $2,018 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $435/mo less than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $132 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −6% to +10% over the next 12 months (72% chance of a rise).
