What this means
- Supply. Listings are 100% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−50% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (10/100; U.S.: 54) (as of Jan 2026): homes sell for about 3.9% below their final list price (as of Mar 2026); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $283 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding. Flood isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
