Yes, it is. When we purchased our current home many years ago, we made it a point to find a home that has either no flood risk or very low flood risk. It really paid off this year. In our county there was a lot of flooding, but our home escaped flooding. It's a strange feeling to see devastation all around you, and you are spared. Since you brought up the supposed man made disaster formerly known as "global warming", they have pegged the Treasure Valley to be essentially a "global warming" hell hole in the future. Yeah, they also said we were headed into an "ice age" back in the 1970's. If there's anything to worry about these days, it's a a financial climate change from a flood of bank failures. That is truly something to worry about, not pie in the sky predictions about "global warming".
You may recall that I was very interested in flooding and other natural hazards in the Treasure Valley. We really appreciate this information. Thank you! 👍👍👍
@@SummerAstonRealEstate With so many weather events around the U.S. these days, it's no surprise that you're getting these questions. I may have even more questions like this in the future. They could be things you never thought about. Have a good week, Summer. 👍👍👍
Boise RE News.... The median U.S. home sale price fell 3.3% in March to $400,528, the largest year-over-year drop since 2012. That follows February’s 1.2% dip, which was the first annual decrease since 2012. Pandemic boomtowns and pricey Bay Area markets led the price declines in March. In Boise, ID, prices fell 15.4% from a year earlier, more than any other U.S. metro area Redfin analyzed. Next came Austin, TX (-13.7%), Sacramento, CA (-11.9%), San Jose, CA (-10.5%) and Oakland, CA (-9.7%). Boise also saw the largest drop in pending home sales, with a 78.8% year-over-year decline. Nationwide, pending sales fell 26.6% on a seasonally-adjusted basis to the lowest level since the onset of the pandemic (April 2020).

Do you think the flood risks in a community are an important factor when choosing a place to live?

You're welcome! Yes, I do remember that! I finally had enough people asking me about those things that I thought I'd better make a video about it!
