What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (−3% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are up 3.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 6% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 4% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+19% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (77/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 5.4% below their final list price; 10% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 29% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $50k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,580 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $324 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from hurricanes. Check insurance costs before buying.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −7% to +10% over the next 12 months (67% chance of a rise).
