Climatizing the Deal: How Wildfires, Hurricanes & Rising Premiums Are Reshaping Residential Real Estate

Panelists for Climatizing the Deal masterclass by Local Logic

In 2025, climate risk isn’t a future concern, it’s already disrupting homebuying across North America. From wildfires in California to flooding from Hurricane Helene and rising premiums nationwide, real estate professionals are facing a new reality:

Deals are falling through due to insurance issues.
Home values in high-risk areas are stagnating — or dropping.
Buyers are more climate-aware than ever.
Agents and brokerages are being pulled into complex conversations about risk, coverage, and disclosure

This webinar, hosted by Local Logic, brings together experts across housing economics, insurance, policy, and brokerage operations to give you a 360° view of how climate change is transforming residential real estate, and what you can do to stay ahead.
