What this means
- Prices. Home values are flat over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 31% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 42% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+233% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (55/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 3.8% below their final list price (as of Apr 2026); 15% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 12% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $37k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,696 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $68 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +8% over the next 12 months (57% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
