What this means
- Valuation. Prices are 30% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
- Prices. Home values are up 0.8% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 3% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 12% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+5% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (66/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 2.3% below their final list price; 22% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 52% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $167k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,389 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $1,577/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $100 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).
