HOUSING RESILIENCE

CHALLENGES AND BEST PRACTICES


Austin Perez, a senior policy advisor for the National Association of REALTORS®,  points out that the increasing frequency of natural disasters is driving up insurance costs and causing some insurers to exit the market in some high-risk areas.

“Many states have kept insurance costs low for decades, leading people to move to more affordable but riskier areas,” he says.

“This disconnect from true risk pricing has resulted in unexpected insurance cost increases that do not cover the full cost of rebuilding.”

Real estate markets function best when buyers have accurate information about the total cost of homeownership, including insurance.
