- Prices. Home values are up 2.9% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 15% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−31% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.

- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 33% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $68k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,514 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $153 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
