• Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 16% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $33k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,262 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
• Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $193/mo less than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
• Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $911 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from tornadoes, hail and wind. Check insurance costs before buying.
