The real estate market is waking up to a harsh truth: climate risk directly affects asset value. Florida homes exposed to climate-related risks are already worth $5 billion less than comparable unexposed properties. In high-risk areas of California, insurance nonrenewals jumped 61% in one year.
For homeowners, investors, and insurers alike, climate risk is no longer an emerging threat—it’s here, and it’s already reshaping property values, insurance pricing, and market dynamics.
Why External Data Gives You the Edge
✅ Quantify the climate exposure of individual properties and portfolios
✅ Identify high-risk areas for flooding, wildfire, and extreme heat
✅ Predict the long-term value impact of physical and transitional risks
✅ Align with growing regulatory and buyer expectations
✅ Make data-driven decisions on pricing, investment, and development strategy
How It Works
🔹 Machine learning models (e.g., Random Forests, GBMs) predict future climate-related risks at the property level
🔹 GIS mapping reveals high-risk zones and overlays infrastructure or demographic factors
🔹 EVT and pluvial models simulate the probability and impact of extreme weather events
🔹 GCMs project long-term risks under multiple climate scenarios
🔹 Combine real estate performance data with geospatial climate forecasts to anticipate value shifts
With the right external datasets, climate exposure becomes measurable, actionable, and plan-able—whether you manage 10 properties or 10,000.
Real-World Impact: Climate Data in Action
Principal Real Estate Investors completed a pilot climate risk assessment that revealed physical and transition risks across their portfolio. The analysis provided insight into how environmental threats could impact investment strategy and which properties were most vulnerable. The result: a more informed and resilient asset management strategy going forward.
Turn Climate Risk Into a Competitive Advantage
Climate-informed decisions don’t just protect value—they build trust and long-term advantage in a shifting real estate landscape.
