What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 10.2% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 100% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−100% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (13/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 0.0% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%) (as of Jun 2026).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 14% 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 $1,018 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $254 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 −4% to +13% over the next 12 months (81% chance of a rise).
