As concerns about flooding, extreme temperatures, and wildfires grow, this tool also helps agents inform their clients in discussing climate risk, insurance, and long-term affordability." But climate risk firm First Street, which incorporates the effects of climate change into its property risk scores, shows nearly 12% of homes in the state at flood risk. Each for-sale listing on Zillow now displays First Street risk scores for flood, fire, wind, air and heat. This is especially true for the flood risk, because climate change is already intensifying the severity of rainfall, even in minor storms. More than 80% of buyers now consider climate risk when purchasing a home, according to a survey by Zillow.
