- Prices. Home values are up 4.7% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 7% below the 2017-19 norm and rising (+12% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.

- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 79% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $288k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,696 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).

- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $189 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
