What this means
- Prices. Home values are down 0.9% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 4% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 14% below the 2017-19 norm, still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (25/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (105.5% of list); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 25% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $41k 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 $135 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +8% over the next 12 months (59% chance of a rise).
