What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 2.3% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 14% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 22% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+50% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (44/100; U.S.: 54): homes typically sell at or above asking (104.4% of list); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 12% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $26k 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 $256 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.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (64% chance of a rise).
