• Prices. Home values are up 0.7% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
• Supply. There are 6% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+21% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.

• Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 54% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $114k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,354 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
• Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $825/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
• Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $279 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 −8% to +9% over the next 12 months (62% chance of a rise).
