- Prices. Home values are up 0.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 7% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−8% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (43/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.2% below their final list price; 29% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 47% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $113k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,261 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $786/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $229 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes.
