The document presents a comprehensive study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Institute for Water Resources on the impact of flood risk on housing prices. It investigates whether flood damages are reflected in the market value of properties located in floodplains, utilizing hedonic price models and empirical case studies from Abilene, Texas, and South Frankfort, Kentucky. The findings indicate that while some studies suggest a discount for floodplain location exists, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that primary flood damages are capitalized into property values. The report emphasizes the complexity of factors influencing property prices in flood-prone areas and suggests that further research may not be fruitful due to difficulties in measuring all relevant attributes.
