What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 0.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 4% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−11% vs. a year ago), close to pre-pandemic levels.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (100/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.0% below their final list price (as of Jun 2026); 50% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 37% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $95k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,144 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $240 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding. Flood isn't covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −7% to +9% over the next 12 months (66% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
