Climate change impacts are affecting property values across the North American continent. Property losses from both insurable and uninsurable climate hazard related sources are increasing annually. This study aims to discover property value impacts across the market and to understand future impacts of climate hazard on North American real estate values. Property value impacts of climate-risk are evaluated with a broad market approach to understanding the ways site improvement losses (buildings), and property (land) devaluation occur in relations to increases in catastrophic loss, as a result of climate-risk. The research points to urgent need for innovation in the housing sector. The research reveals patterns that demand industry and government attention and which demonstrate that the homeowner is the most vulnerable stakeholder. Recommendations are offered as next steps; recommendations are made for helping homeowners adapt to emerging climate-risk challenges. Key words: climate ...

What happens to property values after a catastrophic climate event such as flood, or wildfire? This study examines how North American Real Estate markets respond after catastrophic events. The study explores the present and future risks to property valuation and insuranability. The study concludes with a recommendation for the creation of a Real Estate Climate Risk Index, as an intervention for creating market stability in the face of increasing frequency and scale of property damage from climate events.
