Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents

📈 Market Move:

Risky Regions Reel

For the first time in over a decade, home prices in low-risk climate areas are outpacing gains in high-risk zones. Properties in places less prone to extreme heat, flooding, or wildfires are seeing bigger jumps in value. Meanwhile, high-risk areas, which traditionally saw faster growth, are slowing down.

Why the shift? Buyers are paying attention to climate risks, with rising insurance costs and frequent natural disasters adding to the equation. States like Florida and Texas, previously hot markets, are cooling due to increased supply, higher taxes, and soaring insurance premiums.

The big question: Are homes in high-risk areas riding a bubble? Some economists think these prices don’t fully account for long-term climate realities. As demand shifts, the gap between safety and risk might keep widening.
