As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.

Flood Risk
Flood Factor® provides comprehensive flood risk information from rain, rivers, tides and storm surge and incorporates how future flood risk is changing over time because of a changing environment.
Flood Factor is a 1-10 scoring, from minimal to extreme, that tells you a property’s potential risk of flooding at least once over the life of a 30 year mortgage.
Flood risk data is provided by Flood Factor®, a product of First Street Foundation®. The Flood Factor model is designed to approximate flood risk and not intended to include all possible risks of flood.
- FEMA Zone (est.):
Flood likelihood over time
| year | probability |
|---|---|
| 1y | 0% |
| 5y | 3% |
| 10y | 6% |
| 15y | 11% |
| 20y | 16% |
| 25y | 23% |
| 30y | 29% |
Because risk accumulates over time, this property has a 29% chance of flooding within the next 30 years.
