What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 18% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 0.6% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 3% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 13% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−19% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (18/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.5% of list); 12% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 55% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $251k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,036 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $3,250/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $408 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. Leaning up: likely −7% to +10% over the next 12 months (68% chance of a rise).
