What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 29% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are down 2.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 5% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 3% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−10% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (48/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.4% below their final list price; 26% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 28% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $91k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,319 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $382/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $254 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding. Flood isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (64% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
A rise is somewhat more likely than a fall, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −7.3% to +9.0% (80% range; middle estimate +2.0%), chance of a rise 64%, of a 5%+ drop 15%.
