Zillow Integrates Climate Risk Data into US Property Listings
Homebuyers can now access detailed climate risk assessments and insurance recommendations for properties listed on Zillow.
- Zillow's listings will feature data on five key climate risks: floods, wildfires, high winds, extreme temperatures, and poor air quality.
- The climate risk information is provided by First Street, a firm specializing in climate risk financial modeling.
- Interactive maps and risk scores will help buyers understand the potential severity of climate risks for specific properties.
- The new feature will be available on Zillow's website and iOS app by the end of the year, with Android availability early next year.
- The initiative aims to inform homebuyers about potential future insurance costs and the long-term affordability of properties.
