- Prices. Home values are up 5.9% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 18% below the 2017-19 norm, still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (87/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 5.6% below their final list price; 13% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 93% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $416k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $3,280 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $54 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
