How Climate Risks Are Reshaping the Housing Market
Homebuyer Behavior
Many buyers now consider flood-risk data before making offers. Research shows that buyers viewing high-risk homes are increasingly shifting their focus to safer properties, with some even abandoning purchases due to flood-risk concerns.
Insurance and Costs
Rising disaster frequency has led to increased home insurance premiums, particularly for flood and wildfire protection. This added expense can influence home affordability and appeal.
Adaptation Investments
Homeowners are investing in climate-resilient upgrades, such as fireproofing, flood barriers, and durable roofing, to protect property value and safety.
Regional Variations
Coastal and disaster-prone areas like Florida and California are seeing the most significant impact. Meanwhile, regions with fewer natural disasters, like the Midwest, remain less affected.
