What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+7% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are down 1.8% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 150% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+30% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (61/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.8% of list); 16% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 63% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $185k 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).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $1,667/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $303 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 (49% 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: −9.3% to +7.0% (80% range; middle estimate 0.0%), chance of a rise 49%, of a 5%+ drop 22%.
