Скачать или смотреть Zillow's Climate Risk Data REMOVED: Real Estate Impact?

Zillow made headlines again, and this time it’s because they’ve pulled their climate risk scores from home listings. For years, buyers have seen everything from “high flood risk” to “extreme heat risk” tagged onto properties, even though neither homeowners nor realtors could correct or update the information.

That data came from a proprietary system — which meant if Zillow labeled a home as high risk, that was it. No context. No explanation. No ability to challenge it. And sellers across the country were starting to feel the impact on pricing, interest, and even the decision to list their homes in the first place.

Now Zillow has removed those risk ratings entirely, and it raises a pretty big question for the real estate world. Was the data helping consumers make informed decisions, or hurting buyers and sellers by oversimplifying complex climate factors?

We’re curious what you think. As climate continues to influence insurance, pricing, and long-term planning, how should that information be shared with buyers? What’s fair — and what’s too far?
