• Prices. Home values are down 0.9% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 11% below their 2022-23 peak.
• Supply. There are 157% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+500% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
• Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (50/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.3% of list); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
• Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 26% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $61k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,086 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
• Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $305 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from hurricanes. Check insurance costs before buying.
• Outlook. No clear direction: likely −10% to +6% over the next 12 months (45% chance of a rise).
