What this means
- Prices. Home values are down 4.8% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 26% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 33% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+100% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (27/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 10.9% below their final list price (as of Mar 2026); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 10% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $24k 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 $248 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes. Earthquakes aren't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +8% over the next 12 months (57% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
No clear direction
A rise is somewhat more likely than a fall, but not by enough to call. Likely change: −8.4% to +8.0% (80% range; middle estimate +0.9%), chance of a rise 57%, of a 5%+ drop 18%.
