Never

This "poll" would suggest 75%+ would not purchase a house flooded by Harvey.In reality, many, many, many homes that flooded during Harvey have sold since 2017.Most, if not all of the purchasers, view Harvey as an extremely rare event, with very special & unusual circumstances (I don't want to use the term perfect storm").

Almost one of three houses in KW are rentals due to sales of flooded homes to investment companies.

No, I would not buy a house that flooded. Wanted to buy a house that some of the property backed up to LH and DH said no even if it was a 500 year plan. Those lots and houses flooded. Our street never flooded until after Harvey. Now if I know it is going to rain all cars get moved up on driveway because it doesn't take much to flood.

SpaceCat :
I would not even consider a house that had flooded period. Too many potential problems.

buffaloglenn : I did not realize a flood claim was not a mark used.

SpaceCat :
For me personally no, unless the entire house had been elevated several feet.

No I would not but it would me tempting to have a freshly remodeled home.

No, no ,noooooo….not only because it might flood again but because of all the possible future issues.

When my DD was house shopping, she almost fell in "love" with a property. We looked at the history and I told that it flooded in Harvey. My theory is "if it happens once, it can happen again". She took my advice and the reward was....she found something she liked even more!!!

sheltielover : The real risk is to flood again, and have to deal with the hassles and expense. The houses that have already flooded have been remodeled, with new flooring, pipes, electrical updates. Also, since most homes in our area have at least some termite issues, those issues have also been addressed, or at least they were among me and my neighbors. I would argue that homes which have been remodeled post-Harvey are in better shape than original, non-updated homes. But, those same homes are more likely to flood again, than those in Kingwood which did not flood, in most cases. Some homes in Kingwood flooded during the tax day (I think) floods, but did not during Harvey, so Harvey as a lone benchmark is not that reliable.

ZMAN : I don't think that's crazy at all - 86 feet is way up there, by Houston standards at least. The only thing that could probably cause your house to flood would be a local plugged storm drain, with a really heavy rain in a short period. Even that would only get a small amount into your house, as happened to people in North Woodland Hills and Bear Branch from the Tax Day floods. It's still enough to have to replace flooring, baseboards, and possibly some sheetrock when that happens, but I would think at your place/elevation it would be extremely unlikely.

SpaceCat : I would consider it for sure.. Many not all will not have an issue going forward.
