All I know is that my house didn't flood... and I'm going to use that fact to leverage the hell out of its sale, should I ever have to sell one day.

It may be many years down the road, but my asking price jumped up a good bit because it withstood a 4 trillion gallon flood. Not that I'm happy about how it happened. I'm just stating a fact.

Watch out. There are people on this board that will call you out for price gouging for raising the asking price of your home because it didn't flood. Even if the market value of your home went up, you shouldn't adjust the price.

my camp house is in the "100 year flood zone" It flooded one time in the early 50s and didn't flood again until 1991... Then 1998, 2004, 2014, 2015, and twice so far in 2016..

I'm down stream from Austin tx.. which has pretty much tripled in size since the early 90's along with the surrounding area.

Its pretty much 10 inches of rain in Austin and the river is flooding.. I really think there is something to all that concrete
