What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 4.4% 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 low (32/100; U.S.: 54) (as of Jul 2026): homes typically sell at or above asking (102.4% of list) (as of Jun 2025); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 31% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $68k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,396 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $181 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from tornadoes, hail and wind.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +8% over the next 12 months (58% chance of a rise).
