What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 110% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 3.9% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 45% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+103% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (95/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 2.2% below their final list price; 35% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 57% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $148k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,696 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $147 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (65% chance of a rise).
