What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 2.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 5% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 300% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+50% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (96/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 5.6% 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 15% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $32k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,514 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $147 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. Leaning up: likely −6% to +10% over the next 12 months (71% chance of a rise).
