What this means
- Prices. Home values are flat over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 7% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 6% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−25% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (98/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 31.1% below their final list price (as of Sep 2025); 27% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 21% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $34k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,641 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $142 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −6% to +10% over the next 12 months (70% chance of a rise).
