Good afternoon. I'm looking for real estate, construction, design, insurance, and other related professionals to share insights into the growing trend of building natural disaster "resistant" homes amid worsening weather events and climate change. My main questions are:
1.) A recent insurance company survey revealed that 92% of homeowners are worried about extreme weather risks, while 88% said they'd pay more for a home with natural disaster resilient features. Have you noticed a rise in demand for disaster-resistant housing in recent months? If so, please explain.
2.) Are you currently working on building or selling homes that contain disaster-resilient features? (e.g. fire-resistant roofing, impact-resistant windows, etc.) If so, please explain the features and how they compare to regular home features in the same category.
3.) As a current or prospective homeowner, does purchasing a home with aspects that are resistant to extreme weather appeal to you? If so, would you pay more for a home with these kinds of features?
4.) If your business sells upgrades to existing homes that are meant to withstand extreme weather events (e.g. windows, doors, roofs, etc.), please elaborate.
Thank you for your time and consideration on this critical emerging topic.
