Yes, if the SJWA didn't open the gates most if not all would have been ok. Homes were remediated after. Mold is always a concern here, flood or not, because of our climate.

ZMAN : The new benchmark is obviously Harvey. If you didn't flood then, you are probably ok now in a neighborhood that hasn't had any recent developments nearby. However, places are flooding now because developers are altering the drainage so neighborhoods are flooding that didn't in Harvey.I flooded in my previous home in Foster's Mill. I did all the right things concerning mold remediation. If you can get proof that was handled properly, a buyer would basically be getting a completely updated home.

We're at 83 ft in SW Trails. Tax Day it backed up half way up our driveway towards the house and has never flooded. Flood Ins is $500 and I can sleep at night.

One of the reasons we relocated was to escape the Houston area floods. Our elevation in Forest Cove was 92 feet and we still experience flooding. Here in the country, we're 286 feet and sitting on a hill. I don't ever want to see water coming in under the front door again. No, I wouldn't consider purchasing a Kingwood home that flooded. Ever. If it did once, it eventually will do so again.

SpaceCat :
Honestly if I had a choice I would have a house somewhere cold with little Sun elsewhere entirely at the moment.

Skippy :
I was here when that area flooded in 93 or 94. The water line was not that high, mainly cars and first level apartments. I would never buy in Kingwood Greens either. No homes back then but the water was in the YMCA. Every area of land in Kingwood Greens had water.

Chrysanthemum :
I also was here during the 1994 flooding which, like Harvey, was worsened by water released from Conroe. In Kingwood Greens, every house but one of the 212 flooded during Harvey. That said, all homes in KWGreens, built starting in 1998, are elevated (likely above the 1994 flood level). The housing market in KWGreens is today very strong - I wonder why if flooding is inevitable?

Skippy : Because flooding may not be inevitable, and you can insure for it. Statistically, another Harvey is unlikely. Many people will take that risk. Especially if they don't plan on the house being their forever home.

buffaloglenn :
Exactly my point

SpaceCat : We moved to the Piney Woods of Deep East Texas. Don't even get cellphone service.

SpaceCat: probably not

SpaceCat :
Our home flooded during Harvey, but never before. 1984 build. Foster's Mill village. Beautiful community, the ponds, the Club, easy access to Town Center. It was a 1OOO year storm. There was response procedure buffoonery, which has been corrected. Outdated mitigation efforts. Lots of nonsense that has since been corrected. Not to mention a 1000 year storm! It could happen again, but I doubt it. If it's a home that flooded before Harvey, no way. If it only flooded during Harvey, like parts of Foster's Mill, then absolutely consider. Just get the flood insurance. We've never been better!

Absolutely not! It's a long story but my sister bought a home and totally renovated it. Beautiful. Our Dad passed away suddenly and within three weeks her home was flooded completely within an hour. Them releasing the dam caused so much damage and despair. She lost so much, including her car. She has started over but that was a disaster. I'll never forget that traumatic month of July 2017.. My Dad's name was Harvey, he passed and then comes hurricane Harvey.? It was way to much for me to bare but we made it through it. So many homes,
belongings, vehicles destroyed. She has flood insurance now for sure regardless.
