Metrics without data for this metro are omitted.

|---|---|
| Asking price / sq ft | $194 +1.0% YoY |
Price-to-rent divides the median sale price by the annual HUD Fair Market Rent (a 3-bedroom, 40th-percentile benchmark), so it is a directional rent-vs-buy read, not a cap rate; its year-over-year change is directional in the same way. Asking price per square foot is the median across active for-sale listings (Realtor.com), as of Sep 2026. The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.
Market pressure
| Listings with a price cut | ≈ 40% -2.1 pts YoY ↑76th of 195 (top 39%) |

The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.
