What this means
- Prices. Home values are down 11.5% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 65% below their 2022-23 peak.
- Supply. There are 150% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+400% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (100/100; U.S.: 54): 40% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 24% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $41k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,262 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $401 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from wildfire. Check insurance costs before buying.
- Outlook. No clear direction: likely −8% to +9% over the next 12 months (61% chance of a rise).
