What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 7.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 157% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+200% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (38/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (114.3% of list); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 53% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $73k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,342 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $75 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (63% chance of a rise).
