- Prices. Home values are up 5.6% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 50% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.

- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 28% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $53k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,805 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $137 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
