- Prices. Home values are down 9.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 40% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 0% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−50% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (75/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 19.2% below their final list price; 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 12% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $26k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,736 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $165 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −9% to +7% over the next 12 months (52% chance of a rise).
