What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 9.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 0% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm, so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (77/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 24.0% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 20% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $29k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $942 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $262 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 −3% to +13% over the next 12 months (83% chance of a rise).
