What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 20% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are down 2.3% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 23% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 27% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−29% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (80/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 3.4% below their final list price; 40% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 67% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $131k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,640 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $1,251/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $114 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +9% over the next 12 months (61% chance of a rise).
