Arming prospective homebuyers with critical health information, Redfin now includes insights into air quality risks for nearly every US property on its brokerage and listings platform. Alongside a home's current Air Factor, estimates are also provided for the next three decades.
Air Factor scores are based on likely exposure to fine particulate matter and ground-level ozone; for projections, a climate-adjusted model considers how a location is affected by rising temperatures and changing humidity levels.
While air quality is a new addition to its listings, Redfin already featured a comprehensive overview of climate risk data for every property, with risk estimates for floods, fire, extreme heat and severe wind. All data is provided by climate research firm First Street.
