Flood insurance can not only help protect a home and belongings but also a homeowner’s wallet. Even getting one inch of water inside a house during a flood can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage. The cost to replace damaged carpets, wood floors and furniture would be daunting to any homeowner.
Many think that in the case of a flood, the government (FEMA) will help them. This is true only in some instances.
Many are unaware that:
Flood insurance takes 30 days, after a policy is purchased, to go into effect.
According to FEMA your home has a 26% chance of being damaged by flood during the course of a 30-yr mortgage compared to 9% chance of fire.
Flood insurance is relatively inexpensive.

As the seller, you can control three factors that will affect the sale of your home:
However, it's important to note that there are numerous other factors that influence a buyer, and you need to understand these consumer trends when you enter the sellers' market. The more your home matches these qualifications, the more competitive it will be in the marketplace. Your real estate agent can advise you on how to best position and market your home to overcome any perceived downsides.
Location
Unfortunately, the most influential factor in determining your home's appeal to buyers is something you can't control:
its location. According to the National Association of REALTORS(r), neighborhood quality is the No. 1 reason buyers
choose certain homes. The second most influential factor is commute times to work and school.
Size
While some buyers want to simplify their lives and downsize to a smaller home, home sizes in general have continued to
increase over the decades, nearly doubling in size since the 1950s. Smaller homes typically appeal to first-time home
buyers and "empty nesters," or couples whose children have grown up and moved out.
Amenities
Preferences in floor plans and amenities go in and out of fashion, and your real estate agent can inform you of the
"hot ticket" items that are selling homes in your market. If your home lacks certain features, you can renovate to
increase its appeal, but be forewarned: That's not always the right move. Using market conditions and activity in your
neighborhood as a gauge, your agent can help you determine whether the investment is likely to help or hinder your
profit margin and time on the market.
