Now those issues are having an impact on home prices and rents.

The median U.S. home sale price fell for the first time in more than three years, according to a new report from Redfin, a real estate brokerage.

The drop was just one-tenth of a percent year-over-year for the four weeks ending October 25th, but it follows three straight years of increases.

While mortgage rates have pulled back some in the last few weeks, they are roughly a full percentage point higher than they were one year ago.

Higher rates are putting the typical homebuyer's monthly payment now at the second highest on record, according to Redfin.

Pending home sales, which are a measure of signed contracts on existing homes, continued to fall in the past few weeks.

A separate report from the National Association of Realtors showed these sales in September hitting the lowest level in 25 years.

New listings are also falling, now at the lowest level since the start of this year, according to Redfin.

First Street data appears on Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com. As of Tuesday morning, all three platforms continued displaying the data or links to it, although Zillow removed some information in December 2025 after California Regional MLS questioned its accuracy.

Redfin previously defended displaying the scores, with chief economist Daryl Fairweather saying the company continued using them, quote, because homebuyers find climate risk scores valuable when making one of the most important financial decisions of their lives, unquote.
