What this means
- Prices. Home values are down 10.3% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 33% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 25% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (31/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 5.8% below their final list price (as of May 2026); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 16% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $30k 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 $384 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 −9% to +7% over the next 12 months (52% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
