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 up 3.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 10% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 2% below the 2017-19 norm, close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (96/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 5.0% below their final list price; 21% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 23% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $40k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,842 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $284 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 −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (65% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
