She said the concern is also affecting potential new home buyers.
"Gen Z buyers are more likely to change how they're looking, or change where they're looking, based on climate risks and home insurance costs," Jones said.
The study sampled of 1,000 U.S. adults from Aug. 7–8, 2025.
All respondents to the survey indicated that they are currently interested in buying or selling their primary residence or have done so within the past two years.
