What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 7.7% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. There are 0% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm, so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (51/100; U.S.: 54) (as of May 2024): homes sell for about 28.9% below their final list price (as of Aug 2024); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%) (as of May 2024).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 24% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $63k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,375 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $206 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
