What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (+6% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are down 1.3% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 15% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 13% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+22% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (80/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 14.3% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 147% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $376k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,514 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $498 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155). Check insurance costs before buying.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (66% chance of a rise).
