What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 27% below this area's pre-2020 price-to-income norm, cheaper relative to incomes than before the pandemic.
- Prices. Home values are down 2.7% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 17% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 7% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−13% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (77/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.1% of list); 53% 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 $128k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,286 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $1,676/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $196 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +8% over the next 12 months (59% chance of a rise).
