What share of homes for sale in Humble are in a flood zone?
Built from Allen Markel's own listing data · Texas Premier Realty ·
Short answer
About 2% of the homes for sale in Humble are in a FEMA special flood hazard area, based on the flood zone recorded on each listing (98% in zone X, 2% in zone AE). A flood zone is a map designation, not a history of flooding, and the zone for a specific address is what matters, so check the address before you make an offer.
Flood zones on the listings
Of the 705 active homes in Humble, the flood zone breakdown on the listings is 98% in zone X, 2% in zone AE. Zone X is generally outside the mapped special flood hazard area; zones starting with A or V are inside it and usually mean flood insurance is required with a federally backed mortgage.
Checking one address
A home outside the mapped area can still flood, and insurance is priced by elevation, location and the property, so quotes vary. Check the address on our Flood Zone Lookup and get an insurance quote before the end of the option period. Every buyer and seller in Humble is weighing a different set of trade-offs, and waiting to decide is often the costliest choice. For a specific address in Humble, talk to us to find the right option for your circumstances.
