Where homes will face the most flood risk in next 30 years
Real estate websites are sharing more climate risk information with home buyers and sellers. Why it matters: Of roughly 4,600 prospective buyers Zillow surveyed nationwide last spring, over 80% said they considered at least one climate risk when shopping. State of play: Realtor.com, which was the first major site to show a home’s flood risk, added heat, wind and air-quality risks to listings this month. The company added wildfire risk in 2022. Threat level: Nearly 45% of U.S. homes face severe or extreme damage from environmental threats, according to a new report from Realtor.com.
