What this means
- Valuation. Prices are roughly in line with local incomes (−3% vs. this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm).
- Prices. Home values are up 0.7% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 13% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 27% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm, so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (89/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 2.1% below their final list price; 48% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 54% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $169k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,387 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $2,659/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $200 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −7% to +10% over the next 12 months (67% chance of a rise).
