How will the recent catastrophic flood in Southwest WA. affect home values in Centralia, WA?

Yes flooding will affect your home values. See the attached findings that share the outcome of such issues in various areas. Now that it has flooded in the area that will have to be disclosed when you decide to sell.

In some cases properties can be greatly affected in valuation due to natural disasters or acts beyond your control. I would be loathe to state what percentage decline you might see in this situation as each area is different and truly it is dependent on what a buyer is willing to pay and until some properties in the area sell after this upset it is hard to forsee the outcome of the price change. So sorry for the misfortune of the people this truly affects.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
