- Prices. Home values are down 0.7% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 64% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−31% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (49/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 8.7% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 26% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $52k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,131 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $101 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
