What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 11% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are up 3.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 8% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 24% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+54% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (20/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (103.8% of list); 41% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 41% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $160k 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 $2,265/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $151 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −5% to +12% over the next 12 months (76% chance of a rise).
