What this means
- Prices. Home values are up 2.7% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
- Supply. Listings are 45% below the 2017-19 norm and falling (−14% vs. a year ago): still a tight market.
- Negotiating. Buyer leverage is high (65/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 3.3% below their final list price (as of Jul 2026); 29% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
- Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 32% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $60k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $1,157 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
- Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $281 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. Leaning up: likely −6% to +10% over the next 12 months (71% chance of a rise).
