• Supply. There are 100% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+17% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.

• Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $256 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding. Flood isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
• Outlook. No clear direction: likely −9% to +8% over the next 12 months (56% chance of a rise).
