What this means
- Prices. Home values are down 10.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 16% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 33% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm, so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (65/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 4.7% below their final list price (as of May 2023); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 22% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $23k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,135 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $447 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding. Flood isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −7% to +10% over the next 12 months (68% chance of a rise).
