    How Rising Sea Levels Affect San Diego Coastal Home Values

    If you own a home near the water in Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Bird Rock, or La Jolla Shores, two things are happening right now that could quietly change what your property is worth. FEMA recently updated its flood maps and moved large stretches of the San Diego coast from low or moderate risk into high risk, which affects insurance costs and what buyers are willing to offer. In this video, I break down what the new flood zones and rising sea levels actually mean for your home's value, and why the owners who understand the shift come out ahead of the ones who ignore it. Watch my video to see exactly where your property stands.
