    As climate change worsens extreme weather around the US, floods are increasing the risk of home foreclosure, according to a new report by First Street Technology Inc., a climate-data company. A big part of the reason why is that unlike damage from hurricane winds and wildfires, flood damage isn’t covered by standard home insurance. Only a small percentage of Americans hold separate flood insurance.

    Florida real estate prices are in decline again — and this time, real estate experts say, the costs of living with climate change may deepen the down phase of the usual boom-and-bust cycle. Sky-high insurance rates and condo fees, stemming in part from extreme weather, are weighing more heavily against the benefits of year-round sunshine and zero income tax, complicating an already tough situation with borrowing costs. The climate cost burden on state homeowners isn’t likely to ease soon.
