What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 62% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 1.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 0% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−100% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (35/100; U.S.: 54) (as of Feb 2026): homes sell for about 17.1% below their final list price (as of Jul 2018); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%) (as of Feb 2026).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 31% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $52k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,375 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $234 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. Leaning up: likely −5% to +12% over the next 12 months (77% chance of a rise).
