What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 5.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 77% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (7/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (117.6% of list); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 15% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $42k 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 $133 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −5% to +12% over the next 12 months (77% chance of a rise).
