As we reported last year, mortgage lenders for coastal homes often expect 40% down payments, just to offset the risks.&nbsp;This year, the insurance tech company Policygenius published a study showing U.S. homeowners\u2019 insurance rising at a remarkable 12%+ rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the top five reasons Policygenius <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policygenius.com\/homeowners-insurance\/home-insurance-pricing-report-july-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lists<\/a> for the rising premiums are \u201crecord catastrophe losses\u201d and \u201csevere natural disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Times are changing for real estate. And now, an industry is growing up around the concept of climate-resilient buildings. The largest investment fund in this area is being led by a firm named Fifth Wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the news on these developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wildfire Is, Alas, Spreading\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wildfire-is-sreaping.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2635\" width=\"254\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wildfire-is-sreaping.jpg 338w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wildfire-is-sreaping-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A standard homeowner\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/insurance\/homeowners-insurance\/does-homeowners-insurance-cover-wildfires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insurance policy includes wildfire damage<\/a> in the policy holder\u2019s coverage. But that is not an absolute rule, so you have to know your policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s not cheap. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/buyer-be-told-more-wildfire-risks-for-homes-in-california-and-beyond\/\">more wildfires<\/a> damage properties, the more claims insurers have to process. Of course they are passing the expenses along to their loyal customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way insurance companies reduce their side of the risk is to deny claims if circumstances indicate that the homeowner could have taken fire-resistant measures, but failed to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2026But Water Presents the Biggest Risks.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water damage is in play in about 90% of disasters, says the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewtrusts.org\/en\/research-and-analysis\/blogs\/stateline\/2020\/07\/13\/financially-stretched-homeowners-might-skimp-on-insurance-and-hurricane-season-is-here\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pew Trust<\/a>. U.S. homeowners might want to know about flood insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seas are rising around North America. The rises involve warming water temperatures, combined with the melting of ice around the Earth. Scientists have reported significantly higher sea levels throughout the most recent thirty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using satellites to collect information, NASA\u2019s Sea Level Change Team has been <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s43247-022-00537-z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">studying<\/a>\u00a0those past three decades. Over the <em>next<\/em> three decades, the researchers say, sea levels could be a full foot higher than they are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u261b <\/em><strong><em>Climate disruption is now a key factor for house floods. The real estate world is just beginning to talk about this. <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/breaking-legal-news-in-hawaii-home-sellers-must-now-disclose-sea-level-risks\/\"><strong><em>In 2021, Hawaii began requiring sellers to disclose their properties\u2019 sea-level rise risks<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now, These Risks Are Moving Inland.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rising sea levels, storm surges, and coastal erosion have washed out billions of home equity dollars in the mid-Atlantic and the Gulf states. When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviews.com\/insurance\/homeowners\/how-to-check-your-home-hurricane-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">storm damage risk by state<\/a>, Florida tops the list. The next riskiest states are Louisiana and Texas. Then New Jersey and New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet this is no longer a concern just for coastal states. It matters to real estate in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tidal rivers bring sea level inland. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/stories\/climate-change-sinking-national-flood-insurance-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rising rivers<\/a>&nbsp;are expected to affect millions of homes. Damage will be uneven, with some strongly impacted and others untouched. In certain areas, people will buy homes and find out they\u2019re facing recurrent flooding. A nuisance? Definitely. And a loss risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insurance generally won\u2019t cover flooding \u2014 or any water damage beyond a sewer backup. But doesn\u2019t the seller have to warn the buyer about the risks? Not necessarily. Even if sellers already know about a home\u2019s risk of flooding, that doesn\u2019t mean they must inform buyers. In a significant minority of states, flood risk disclosure isn\u2019t mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u261b<\/em><em>&nbsp;<strong>Some states don\u2019t have flood disclosure laws to warn potential purchasers. One example: <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu\/post\/sea-rise-wont-sink-all-floridas-real-estate-market-experts-say-just-parts-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Florida<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>, where storm surges are particularly impactful. Buyers, be alert!<\/em><\/strong><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) does issue coverage for real estate on flood hazard areas. Mortgage applicants may actually be required to buy flood insurance in flood zones. But FEMA bases its flood forecasts on past patterns. That is, major\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/firststreet.org\/flood-lab\/published-research\/2020-national-flood-risk-assessment-highlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flood risks are present<\/a>\u00a0beyond FEMA\u2019s designated Special Flood Hazard Areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, according to <em>FirstStreet.org,<\/em> FEMA finally recalibrated the agency\u2019s risk assessments. The agency was so far behind that premiums for some properties suddenly rose by thousands of dollars a year! It was clear that the United States has urgently needed useful data on areas of land with unreported yet significant flood risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can We Search for Our Own Climate Risks? Is There an App for This?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Count on it. We\u2019re about to witness the rise of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brinknews.com\/climate-change-is-now-driving-flood-resilience-investments-insurance-covid-risk-resilience-business-continuity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">climate prediction and resilience technology<\/a>\u00a0and its adoption by insurance firms. Some examples of innovations? There\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/areahub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Areahub.com<\/em><\/a>, which helps \u201c[d]iscover climate and environmental hazards around\u00a0you.\u201d Or try <a href=\"https:\/\/climatecheck.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Climatecheck.com<\/em><\/a>, for an\u00a0instant\u00a0risk assessment of climate impact on your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there\u2019s the matter of dealing with building emissions. A venture capital firm for property tech, Fifth Wall, says climate tech will arise as a \u201cretrofitting industry&#8221; and a \u201cgenerational investment opportunity\u201d for real estate investors. Fifth Wall set up its Climate Fund to address emissions from construction and from energy use in buildings. The firm says its fund will be an investment vehicle for indoor energy technology. It will also encourage adoption of wind and solar electric systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fifth Wall\u2019s fund has recently invested in an online platform for residential and commercial recycling, too. A Fifth Wall spokesperson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclingtoday.com\/article\/funding-roadrunner-recycling-fifth-wall-commercial-recycling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calls RoadRunner Recycling<\/a> a \u201cgame-changing approach to driving greater landfill diversion.\u201d In plain terms, it automates the timing up of pick-ups to match when the receptacles fill up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fifth Wall\u2019s limited partners for the technology investment fund include some of the wealthiest real estate companies in existence \u2014 the likes of Invitation Homes, American Homes 4 Rent, Kimco Realty Corporation, Hilton, and a slew of others. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And Here Are Our Key Takeaways.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lending Tree puts the average homeowner\u2019s flood insurance cost in 2022 as $82 per monthly payment. Given the damage caused by recent storms like Ida (2021) and Ian (2022), flood coverage will become more popular, despite this heavy cost for homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The industry is also watching the impact of winds and wildfires. Homeowners need to be aware of these developments and how they can prevent or at least mitigate the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premiums paid by property owners will continue to depend on state-specific and location-specific factors. But it\u2019s likely that rising costs of hazards will impact insurance prices as a whole. Some 90% of surveyed homeowners told Policygenius that their premiums are already up over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tech sector is swooping in, perceiving this issue as a massive opportunity. For homeowners, the matter looks quite different. All homeowners should take time to learn whether they\u2019re covered for a climate-related calamity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supporting References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Internal Revenue Service: Tax Topic No. 515.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/taxtopics\/tc515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Casualty, Disaster, and Theft Losses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Pat Howard for <em>Policygenius.com<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policygenius.com\/homeowners-insurance\/home-insurance-pricing-report-july-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Home Insurance Prices Are Rising Even Faster Than Inflation<\/a> (Jul. 12, 2022; citing the 2022 <em>Policygenius Home Insurance Pricing Report<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Insurance Journal<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurancejournal.com\/news\/national\/2022\/07\/12\/675555.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Home Insurance Prices Increase Faster Than Inflation Rate \u2013 Policygenius<\/a> (Jul. 12, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Diana Olick for <em>CNBC.com<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/07\/21\/fifth-wall-closes-500-million-climate-fund-to-decarbonize-real-estate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fifth Wall Closes Half-Billion-Dollar Climate Fund to Decarbonize Global Real Estate<\/a> (Jul. 21, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Sally Younger, U.S. Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Pasadena): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/news\/nasa-study-rising-sea-level-could-exceed-estimates-for-us-coasts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NASA Study \u2013 Rising Sea Level Could Exceed Estimates for U.S. Coasts<\/a> (Nov. 15, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Kate Dore for <em>CNBC.com<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/08\/07\/climate-change-is-making-some-homes-too-costly-to-insure.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">As Climate Change Threatens More Homes, Some Properties Are Getting Too Costly to Insure<\/a> (updated Aug. 9, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Lending Tree via <em>ValuePenguin.com<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuepenguin.com\/average-cost-flood-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Average Cost of Flood Insurance<\/a> (updated Sep. 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Deeds.com<\/em>:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/how-a-sudden-disaster-impacts-your-mortgage-loan\/\">How a Sudden Disaster Impacts Your Mortgage Loan<\/a> (Apr. 12, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Deeds.com<\/em>:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/natural-and-other-disasters-how-emergencies-impact-titles-mortgages\/\">Natural (and Other) Disasters: How Emergencies Impact Titles and Mortgages<\/a>&nbsp;(Aug. 7, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">And as linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Photo credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/person-holding-home-insurance-form-7731332\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mikhail Nilov<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/forest-fire-4070727\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vladyslav Dukhin<\/a>, via Pexels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With climate change impacting more and more real estate, insurance keeps getting pricier.
