What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 13.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 100% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (3/100; U.S.: 54) (as of Aug 2024): homes typically sell at or above asking (100.0% of list) (as of Oct 2024); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%) (as of Jul 2024).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 28% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $78k 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 $115 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −2% to +14% over the next 12 months (85% chance of a rise).
