What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+10% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are up 10.2% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 0% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−50% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (72/100; U.S.: 54) (as of Apr 2026): homes sell for about 4.8% below their final list price (as of Jul 2023); 0% 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 $72k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,396 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $266 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155). Check insurance costs before buying.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −5% to +12% over the next 12 months (77% chance of a rise).
