What this means
- Prices. Home values are flat over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 41% below the 2017-19 norm: still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (86/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 6.7% below their final list price (as of Feb 2026); 24% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 59% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $77k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,640 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $250 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 (63% chance of a rise).
Next 12 months
