- Prices. Home values are up 1.6% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 5% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−40% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (52/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 2.8% below their final list price; 14% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 42% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $108k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $3,170 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Buy vs. rent. Buying costs about $445/mo more than renting a typical home (mortgage payment vs. typical rent).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $151 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from hurricanes.
