And people are talking about it. Visitors no longer see a home\u2019s risk score for climate factors like flooding or wildfire potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/florida-hurricanes-raise-a-question-can-we-guard-our-deeds-from-climate-losses\/#:~:text=Power%20to%20the%20Buyers%3A%20Zillow%20Puts%20First%20Street%E2%80%99s%20Climate%20Risk%20Data%20on%20Home%20Listings\">Zillow adopted calculations from First Street<\/a><sup>TM<\/sup>, which assigns risk levels to specific homes. The risk scores rank future risks from flood, wildfire, wind, heat, and air quality from 1 to 10. Zillow\u2019s real estate listings included the scores to help inform home seekers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Made Zillow Stop Publishing Risk Scores?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/what-made-zillow-stop.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/what-made-zillow-stop.webp 686w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/what-made-zillow-stop-225x300.webp 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe the surprise was their decision to include them last year. When these risk scores first appeared, you might have wondered: Won\u2019t sellers and their agents be annoyed by this? Will the scores put potential buyers off? Of course, transparency is a virtue, and real estate companies want to be known for offering the most informative features. Climate risk ratings, along with walk scores, school ratings,&nbsp; transit accessibility, and similar features, would help buyers ask the right questions and find homes they\u2019d be happy with over the long term. Power to the buyers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But sellers were less than thrilled. It was only a matter of time before the complaints and the pressure began. And now, Zillow\u2019s listings have hyperlinks to First Street\u2019s website, so people can look up the climate risks for specific addresses themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The New York Times <\/em>reports that Zillow removed the risk score feature after complaints from the California Regional Multiple Listing Service. This MLS, funded by real estate agents and brokers, supplies listing data to Zillow. The same listing service asked the other large real estate companies to delete flood risk information from their online listings, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the listing service\u2019s perspective, some of the risk scores on Zillow\u2019s site looked way off. But are they? Because a property hasn\u2019t flooded in the past, listing companies may believe it\u2019s not going to flood in the future, so the risk scores must be wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one can be sure when predicting something that hasn\u2019t happened yet. But even having the basic understanding that certain properties and areas have elevated risks can be useful for planning drainage and rain gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if scores do make buyers pause, this is not necessarily a negative thing. Transparency about a home\u2019s risks would, ideally, cause people to avoid homes and areas facing the highest levels of potential hazards. People would select safer areas. If they decided to move into high-risk areas, they would be on notice. Ultimately, then, we might say it\u2019s better that risks are disclosed, even if the disclosure is imperfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First Street stands by its analyses. The <em>Times <\/em>quoted the First Street CEO as saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur models are built on transparent, peer-reviewed science and the full methodologies are publicly available for anyone to review on our website.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blaming the Messenger, Rather Than Heeding the Message?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A stark number showing high risk does give buyers pause. This has been demonstrated by actual buyer decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redfin ran a three-month study. The real estate company examined the sales of more than 8,000 home properties showing high flood risk scores. Redfin\u2019s report states that those properties sold by about 1% under market value. This seems to make sense, given that potential buyers would think a home that\u2019s potentially prone to water infiltration might have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbs.edu\/bigs\/climate-change-upending-homeowners-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">special insurance needs. <\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what other messengers are making solid efforts to bring this awareness to buyers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many states do not require home sellers to tell buyers about their experiences with flooding events, or known risks of wildfires. And other information sources, such as the flood maps available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), do not show how climate factors are changing a given area\u2019s risk profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The First Street models suggest that millions of U.S. homes carry flood risks that federal government websites miss. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is removing climate information from federal websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The industry cannot simply wave off the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/new-risks-for-property-owners-economic-and-physical-effects-of-climate-change\/\">effects of climate change on real estate<\/a>. Neither can the people who are coming into the market to acquire a deed to a home. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Zillow adopted risk scores, as it said in a release at the time, climate risks had become a key part of a home purchase. Many buyers search for this information as an element of due diligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while the messenger may be taking the heat, the message itself needs <em>more<\/em> attention, not less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passivity Is Not an Option: Towns That Take the Lead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To increase safety and reduce insurance rates, some communities are stepping up to act on climate risks. An example offered by Umair Irfan at <em>Vox<\/em> is located in the Lake Tahoe area of Nevada and California, where wildfires are a big issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smoke raises air quality concerns for the homes, and fires could soon be much too close for comfort. So the nonprofit Tahoe Fund studied the risks. The group then decided to start a project for fire resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They started with a homeowners\u2019 association in Incline Village, Nevada. The HOA includes 228 luxury homes. Working together, the groups came up with new protocols. They\u2019ll cap the amount of fuels that may be transported. They\u2019ll apply best practices for improving the properties\u2019 fire-safety profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grants are available to incentivize deed holders to get to work. If it sounds like a lot of fuss, consider this. Home insurers are pricing the homes\u2019 policies at significantly lower rates than they previously charged. Most important of all, this community is fortifying itself against future fires. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaving Versus Staying Put: A New Set of Haves and Have-Nots? &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate-related fires and storms have become stronger and more frequent. Redfin says climate events will become a reason for deed holders leaving, and choosing other properties. Not necessarily out of state, but locally. Around Los Angeles, Redfin points out, deed holders are already looking to sell homes in the hills, or not to return and rebuild after the deadly fires in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about those without the resources to move? Those are the ones who\u2019ll be left in the riskiest areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, as the wealthier people move to less developed places, more natural lands will be paved over. That, in turn, worsens stormwater runoff issues and flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must change what we do that drives climate change in the first place. It appears, at least for now, that social change is beyond the scope of what the real estate market can do. Data at least equips people with the knowledge that, yes, we must make changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-accent-5-background-color has-background has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<p><strong>Supporting References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claire Brown, with Mira Rojanasakul for <em>The New York Times<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/11\/30\/climate\/zillow-climate-risk-scores-homes.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zillow Removes Climate Risk Scores From Home Listings<\/a> (Nov. 30, 2025).
