Based on CoreLogic's recently released 2024 Hurricane Risk Report, over 32.7 million residential properties from Texas to Maine are at risk of moderate or severe damage from hurricane-force winds. The total reconstruction cost for these properties is estimated at $10.8 trillion.
National property broker Redfin says there are new signs pointing to a shift toward a buyer's market in 2024, as pandemic-driven inflation takes its last gasps, mortgage rates come down and more people list their homes for sale.
According to Redfin, a homebuyer must earn $114,627 to afford the median-priced U.S. home, up 15% ($15,285) from a year ago and up more than 50% since the start of the pandemic. That's the highest annual income necessary to afford a home on record.
Based on new data from CoreLogic, there are 808,321 single-family and multifamily homes along the Florida Gulf Coast with a reconstruction cost value (RCV) of approximately $238.4 billion are at potential risk of storm surge damage from Hurricane Idalia.
