Take coastal Florida, where homes \u00a0 have become significantly more expensive during the pandemic. Many people will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars rebuilding their homes after Hurricane Ian, and they\u2019ll have to decide whether to invest in costly improvements to make their properties more resilient. Those who decide to sell instead of rebuild will likely make less money than they would have earlier this year due to the housing-market slowdown and any damages to their home, and will also have to pay to move.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 2021 Redfin <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/climate-migration-real-estate-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">analysis<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">found that more people have been moving into than out of the U.S. counties with the largest share of homes at high risk of natural disasters.

Let\u2019s say you need a new $20,000 roof and insurance only covers $15,000. You might not have the additional $5,000 out of pocket, and by the time the roofers show up in six months, the total cost of the new roof might have increased to $30,000.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flooding Is Most Common Climate Risk Homeowners Are Insured Against<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than one-third (36%) of homeowners have an insurance policy covering flooding, making it the most common climate risk homeowners have coverage for. Next came tornadoes (33%), hurricanes\/other major tropical storms (29%), wildfires (24%) and earthquakes (18%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The share of homeowners with coverage has increased over the last year and a half for most risks.

I know someone who bought a $3.5 million home and didn\u2019t purchase coverage,\u201d Arias-Squires said. \u201cThe biggest question is which insurance companies will remain. In the last year, a number of insurers sent letters to customers saying they were dropping coverage because their roofs were too old or the companies were leaving the state altogether.
