Opposition is growing over Quebec's new flood maps, with the province's professional association of real estate brokers warning they could disrupt the housing market and directly impact homeowners.
My one house purchased late 90s in Ontario came with notes and required signoff aknowledgement that it was in a designated flood plain.
So flood plain awareness should not be new to people.
(The home was on a raised pedistal foundation, so flood damage should have been minimal if it occured, and price was right)
Moving out west with huge topology changes meant I always checked flood plain maps before looking at realestate.
Some friends of mine called me paranoid and had a good laugh about my efforts…but I think with all the atmospheric rivers and worldvwide flooding recently, they may now understand my madness.
