What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 4.0% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 5% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 100% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−100% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (33/100; U.S.: 54) (as of Dec 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 Dec 2024).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 16% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $47k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,640 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $225 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −6% to +10% over the next 12 months (69% chance of a rise).
