What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+9% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are down 6.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 16% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 212% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+43% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (94/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 3.8% below their final list price; 15% 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 $56k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,488 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $145/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $162 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −10% to +6% over the next 12 months (42% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
A fall is somewhat more likely than a rise, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −10.3% to +6.1% (80% range; middle estimate −1.0%), chance of a rise 42%, of a 5%+ drop 26%.
