What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 10.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 10% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−25% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (21/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 2.9% below their final list price (as of Mar 2026); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 29% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $59k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,018 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $94 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −2% to +14% over the next 12 months (85% chance of a rise).
