What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 55% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are down 5.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 20% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 45% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+13% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (98/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 4.7% below their final list price; 18% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 65% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $151k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,423 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $1,025/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $329 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes. Earthquakes aren't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −9% to +7% over the next 12 months (51% 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: −9.2% to +7.1% (80% range; middle estimate 0.0%), chance of a rise 51%, of a 5%+ drop 21%.
