Flood insurance changes in the world of home ownership and coastal RI real estate was a huge happening hitting us like a tsunami in 2013. The changes have been implemented by FEMA for the flood plains and flood maps for U.S. properties.
If you do not have flood insurance or have not needed to in the past (no mortgage on your property, specifically) you still need to be aware of what flood zone you are in and whether your property is at flood risk. Not knowing what your flood zone is can be just foolish. Home values can be impacted by flood plains and maps where you are located.
As a homeowner or a potential real estate seller, insurance of all kinds is important and critical to any buyer’s lender. In addition, if anything Hurricane Sandy in 2012 taught us is that flood insurance is a must have (not a want, a need) in ‘A’ and ‘V’ flood zones. These are the high risk flood areas.
