IRVINE, CA —
RealtyTrac® (www.realtytrac.com), the nation’s
leading source for comprehensive housing data, today released its first-ever
Natural Disaster Housing Risk Report, which assigns a natural disaster risk
score to more than 3,000 county housing markets nationwide.
Scores assigned to each county’s housing market were based
on risk data for three natural disaster events — hurricanes, tornados and
earthquakes — and each county was assigned to one of five risk categories based
on their score: Very High Risk, High Risk, Medium Risk, Low Risk, and Very Low
Risk.
“The potential risk
of a natural disaster may not be the first item on most homebuyer checklists
for a dream home, but prudent buyers will certainly take this into
consideration along with myriad other factors that could affect home value,”
said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac.
“In the past natural disaster data was technically
available, but difficult for buyers and homeowners to dig up; however, now the
data is readily available online for virtually any U.S. property, and buyers should
take advantage of this.”
Blomquist noted that users can view natural hazard risk data
for 110 million property addresses nationwide by simply typing in the address
at RealtyTrac-powered www.homefacts.com
