- Supply. Listings are 8% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+33% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.

- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 18% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $31k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,640 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $143 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
