Six forces behind every housing market
A cheap listing can hide expensive trade-offs. We examine the full local picture.

Employment growth, wages and access to major industries.
Migration
Who is moving in, who is leaving and how quickly.
Taxes
Property taxes and local costs that change affordability.
Insurance
Premiums, coverage availability and hidden ownership costs.
Climate risk
Flood, fire, storm and heat exposure grounded in data.
Housing supply
Construction, vacancies, zoning and the age of the housing stock.
