Zillow Removes Climate Risk Scores Amid Real Estate Agent ComplaintsZillow has discreetly eliminated climate risk scores from over one million property listings, a year after introducing this feature to alert buyers about environmental hazards. The decision follows criticism from real estate agents who claimed these scores hindered sales. Now, buyers must actively seek climate risk information, as Zillow only provides a link to First Street, the data supplier. First Streets scores remain visible on other real estate sites. The move raises concerns about transparency and accuracy, as some argue it shifts climate risk from pre-purchase to post-purchase.
