What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 45% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are down 2.6% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 5% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 9% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−21% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (55/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 3.7% below their final list price; 11% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 33% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $64k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,262 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $83 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
