• Prices. Home values are up 1.3% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
• Supply. There are 10% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm, so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.

• Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 42% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $104k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,145 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
• Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $770/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
• Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $182 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
