- Prices. Home values are up 7.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 25% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (6/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 2.2% below their final list price (as of Dec 2024); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 36% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $85k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,047 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $198 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
