What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 7.2% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 5% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. Listings are 14% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−50% vs. a year ago), still somewhat tight.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is moderate (59/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 18.2% below their final list price (as of Jun 2026); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 23% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $54k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,090 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $155 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).
