Luxury homes on these beaches are losing value fast, as effects of climate change hit hard

As sea levels rise and storms intensify, coastal real estate is seeing flooding and erosion like never before. From Dana Point, California, to Long Island, New York, and Nantucket, Massachusetts, some of the nation’s priciest coastal real estate is in an increasingly precarious position due to climate change.

This year’s hurricane season is already underway, and the forecast is for “above-normal” activity, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It predicts up to 13 hurricanes, with four to seven categorized as “major” storms.

Various risk models have shown myriad projections for falling real estate values, but the effects of climate change are already hitting the market — and at a faster pace than most expected.

A Nantucket home listed last summer for just over $2 million sold early this year for just $600,000. A barely remarkable Nor’easter in the fall wiped away an astounding 70 feet of the beach it sits on, thanks to sea level rise and unusually intense rainfall.

Nah, too small. How about this mansion?

If only we had all driven EVs, this would not have happened.

They’re losing value because people are abandoning them and moving to Florida!

The ocean washing sand back into the sea is not a new phenomenon. It’s always been that way. And anybody who buys beachfront property should know that.

“From Dana Point, California...”


My dad lived in Dana Point. The luxury homes are ‘losing value fast’ because the bluffs/cliffs they’re built on collapse, as they have done forever. If you build your house near the edge of a sandstone cliff to enjoy the spectacular views, nature sometimes has an ugly surprise for you.

If you don’t know, Dana point is named after Richard Henry Dana, who wrote ‘Two Years Before the Mast’ describing California many years before the gold rush. Dana Point is located where Dana threw dried cowhides from the cliff down to be loaded on his ship, to eventually become shoes.

Interestingly he describes a ‘climate change’. Old Californios told him about hurricanes that used to come up from the southwest making the relatively harborless California coast exceedingly dangerous for shipping. Climate change no doubt caused by human activity. /s

I predict there will be numerous terrorist attacks in the US before either of Obama’s waterfront mansions are flooded.

“Sea level rise is real and has been going on since the end of the last ice age.”

Yes, but as someone else was getting at you’d never notice it unless you’re only 2mm tall.

Nobody who owns coastal property is dumb enough to fall for this stupid scam.

Science by anecdote, the only science practiced by low IQ, global warming eco-fascists.

I’m sure the price reduction has nothing to do with the homeless junkies taking a crap on their front lawn…

Massachusetts, some of the nation’s priciest coastal real estate is in an increasingly precarious position due to climate change.

***********************************************************

“Climate Change” has been occurring for millions of years and there is not a damn thing liberals and our marxist government can do about it. To think otherwise is the height of ARROGANCE for a human.

And, BOTH, the media and the federal government have lied so much and so often that nobody believes a damn thing they say anyway.

The hurricane forecast has been "above-normal" for at least the last 10 years.

In case you were wondering, our correspondent and authoress Diana Olick, CNBC...

Yes, we should always get our climate science from a person with a degree in comparative literature and Soviet studies. There's no better expert. Can she even spell "D-A-T-A"?

I’m pretty sure there’s no coastal real estate between California and New York.

Yes, indeed, it is a crock.

More believable is that study that concluded “ Clean air, allowing more of the Sun’s rays to directly hit the earth, LAND 30% and SEA 70% combined, is the cause of higher temperatures and storms that cause floods and other disasters”

The result of all of the mandates to clean the air has caused harm?
Ii is the definition of “KARMA!”

Trade in that EV, it is as if you are throwing the PACIFIER in the garbage.
