What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 11% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are down 4.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 26% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 77% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+15% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (98/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 5.1% below their final list price; 26% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 46% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $61k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $3,784 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $395 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from hurricanes. Check insurance costs before buying.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −9% to +7% over the next 12 months (49% chance of a rise).
