A recent report by Realtor.com reveals that nearly 23.1% of U.S. homes, valued at $11.2 trillion, are at severe or extreme risk from climate-related events such as wind, flood, or wildfire. Despite these risks, demand for homes in high-risk areas remains strong, often driven by affordability and location preferences. The report highlights that homeowners in these areas face higher costs, with median HOA fees at $192 per month, 53.6% more than those in lower-risk areas. Additionally, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) saw a 4.5% decline in active contracts between May 2025 and May 2026, with significant drops in states like Texas and Oklahoma. The report also notes that serious mortgage delinquency rates in high-risk states like Louisiana and Mississippi are more than double the national average.

Lehigh Valley Housing Market Reaches New Price Record Amid Inventory Shortage

The Lehigh Valley housing market has set a new record for median sales prices, reaching $385,000 in June, according to data from the Greater Lehigh Valley Realtors. This marks a 4.1% increase from the previous year and surpasses the previous record of $375,000. The region, encompassing Lehigh and Northampton counties, is experiencing a severe shortage of homes, with only 757 homes available for sale, equating to just 1.4 months of inventory. This is significantly below the five to six months of inventory typically considered a balanced market. Despite the limited supply, there was an 8% increase in pending sales and a 2.8% rise in new listings. However, closed sales decreased by 2.4%. The tight market conditions are reflective of broader trends in the Northeast, where home prices are rising faster than wages.
