Zillow (NASDAQ: Z, ZG) is rolling out climate risk data provided by First Street on its listings for US properties for sale.
According to the Seattle-headquartered company, home shoppers will have new information on five key risks – flood, wildfire, wind, heat and air quality – directly from listing pages, complete with risk scores, interactive maps and insurance requirements. Each risk is color-coded and has its own color scale, while informative labels provide more context to climate data and links to First Street’s property-specific climate risk reports for full insights.
The new climate risk information will be available on the Zillow app for iOS and on the Zillow website by the end of the year, with Android availability slated for early next year.
“Climate risks are now a critical factor in home-buying decisions,” said Skylar Olsen, chief economist at Zillow. “Healthy markets are ones where buyers and sellers have access to all relevant data for their decisions. As concerns about flooding, extreme temperatures and wildfires grow — and what that might mean for future insurance costs — this tool also helps agents inform their clients in discussing climate risk, insurance and long-term affordability.”

This is extremely exciting. Zillow’s partnership with First Street is huge. To be able to pass along accurate climate data to my clients and customers specific to a home they are planning to sell or buy is huge. Well done.
What a farce!
Agree @Brian Doc Burry. May be the upside will be those climate change fearful wimps will see it’s hot as hell in TX, hurricanes galore in FL, tornado alley in the midwest they won’t move to those states – lol!
This climate change false frenzy along with the recent disastrous NAR acquiescence to the ridiculous court ruling screwing with REALTORS’ commissions is sounding the “death nell” to the real estate profession. The probable “end game” for Zillow, Realtor.Com, etc. is a corporate take-over of the industry, supplanting real estate agents and real estate companies, being replaced by computer/internet, AI corporate.
Actually, Buyers and Sellers will not be as well served as before, and REALTORs can kiss it all ($$$) bye-bye!
I couldn’t agree much more with what you just said, The writing is on the walls, and it is very obvious.
AMEN JAMES WEIGEL
Don’t Call Yourself We the People …. You Speak for No One but Yourself
Stupid left wing hysteria. The climate change lunatics need to be prosecuted at Nuremberg-style tribunals. They are stealing over $1 trillion dollars a year and allowing millions to starve to death as they take money that could benefit the poor and spend it on themselves. The climate change cult is nothing more than the mega-church of the 1980s-evil.
Don’t Call Yourself We the People …. You Speak for No One but Yourself
I agree with you Bob. While climate change is real, this is just more Zillow self-serving crap. I hope they do a better job using credible data sources, unlike their track record! Bottom line, people have to live somewhere. A little data from Zillow can be dangerous and this will make our job tougher.
Zillow, Where are the charge stations for electric cars so we can keep clients informed?
No false frenzy that’s for sure, look at any glacier pic from just 50 yrs ago,and today. Look at the air and water quality from 50 yrs ago.
Fools bury their heads and believe the earth is flat and think Rump is their Savior.
Rump Completely Denies there’s a Climate Issue.
The nar rolling over on Realtors, and huge corporations paying cash to keep out the first time buyer is a sign that no 34x Convicted Realtor should be anywhere near the White House.
It’s a long term plan to take over housing.
Just like Food, Medicine, Hospitals, Rest Homes Insuance and Banking, Just a few own 80%.
Keep the stockholders happy. Steamroll the Rest.
Rump has:
No Respect for the Environment, it’s a commodity to him and MAGA fools.
No Respect for Veterans.
No Respect For Tradition.
Arlington National Cemetary is a Perfect Example.
No Respect for the Constitution.
No Respect for the Law.
No Respect for Anyone he can’t Get Something From.
No Respect for the Middle Class, much less the Little Guy.
No Respect for the American People.
Still Lying about Everything and Anything Including Climate Change, Windmills and Basic Science.
Zillow may help if they can be accurate. Otherwise,
their caveats will only confuse the novice.
They do get it right sometimes, but it isn’t the Real World.
In the Real World Humans will (hopefully) still be in the Loop.
@Bob in Ohio—-Well said!!!
Right on Bob!
Good point. We can hope.tell
Gee, tell us how you really feel. I just laugh at how he gets to live rent free in your brainwashed brain, very entertaining!!
Well said- I worked for 20 years for an international real estate investment and development firm and Trump was considered a chump and a “never do business” kind of guy. How half our nation got taken in by this charlatan which morphed into a cult will be one for the history books.
Bob in Ohio, how did we get out of the ice age? Was that a good thing or bad?
What an absolute joke. If I ever had a client interested in that information it would be extremely hard not to smirk.
In addition to the Zillow divulgence of unnecessary climate information to a listing; why not pay every first-time home buyer $25,000 (with other people’s money), and tax unrealized capital gains to pay for it. Question?
Are the 10+ million illegal immigrants/criminals considered “first time home buyers”?
Inquiring minds want to know…
No matter what the subject, it always sinks into TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). Can never have a real open exchange of ideas anymore !
Ice age is irrelevant, too long ago and dinosaurs didn’t drive, and there wasn’t enough dirty coal to make a difference … they had to be squeezed into coal before we could burn them.
Glaciers Melting and Sea’s Rising and Warming is Real, Massive Hurricanes and 20″ of rain in 24 hours is Real … No matter what rump says … Or Draws with his Sharpie.
… and tds is Real … the maga fool ‘we the people’ spews Nuremberg trial crap for those who know the seas are rising, and the oceans are heating up, and insane wildfires are pouring metric tons of pollutants and debris into the atmosphere, and think we’re screwing this place up … when finding a carbon neutral environment may not be enough to heal this planet.
They Bury their heads, and any common sense, and don’t look past the end of their nose.
My kids and grandkids may yet get to walk around without a mask, or asthma, or eczema or heart disease from air pollution.
Plastics in the ocean change the water temperature, and current directions. Wildlife is the victim. 8,000,000,000 people on this planet … and we’re stuck with a pathetic Old man Who Only Whines …. and Admires Putin, Proud Boys, Orban, and Hannibel. So Sad !
maga fools believe if they can just buy their way out, all will be fine …
My portfolio has all the Winners … I Hope ya weren’t Edeecated at rump university [although your red maga hat says you must have been], I Hope you weren’t investing in rump steaks and rump vodka when he devised that scheme. I hope you haven’t gambled it all away betting on the rump taj mahal, or rump castle, or the rump plaza hotel, all Businesses he ran into chapter 11 bankruptcy in the 90’s. Hope you weren’t a part of rump entertainment resorts in 2009, only 15 years ago … who goes broke in the CASINO Business unless you Really Suck at Business. I REALLY Hope You Didn’t Buy any of rumps djt stock at $55/share.
Now Epstein files have been redacted and released, and MORE Jan 6 evidence is coming out, and the classified doc’s case is far from over [ Jack Smith is a Catahoula who knows what’s his, look it up], and 34 Felony Convictions, and Complete Disrespect for the Men and Women in Blue. and Military Uniform. rumps Poison, and the only ones who get it have tds … damn right.
The man’s a traitor to all that’s important to the long term viability of this country. Immigrants are his Excuse, how quickly we forget the founding of this land. Chinese Labor and Black Slave Labor, and Irish Labor and Child Labor, and the Native Peoples Annihilation. Karma’s a Bitch when You’re Bad.
rump is a Sad Old Man Who Will Say and Do Anything, to Keep the Fire Going … Even if He Has to Burn Down the House.
It’s Sad So Many Want to Carry a Can of Gas with Him.
