What this means
- Prices. Home values are down 3.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 12% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 23% below the 2017-19 norm, still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (70/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 11.3% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 18% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $21k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,120 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $412 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 −5% to +11% over the next 12 months (74% chance of a rise).
