What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 58% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 3.2% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 22% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 150% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+400% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (97/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 27.9% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 54% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $100k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,914 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $102 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +8% over the next 12 months (59% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
