What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 1.4% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), but still 3% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 29% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and falling (−40% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (35/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.4% below their final list price (as of Jul 2024); 0% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 44% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $88k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,892 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $77 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (65% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
