• Prices. Home values are flat over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%), 6% below their 2022-23 peak.
• Supply. There are 30% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+23% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.

• Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 49% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $99k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,160 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).

• Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $147 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from earthquakes.
