that the wildfires could spark a financial crisis and that climate change "poses a major risk to the stability of the US financial system and to its ability to sustain the American economy."Up until 2017, there was no indication that the fires would have a significant impact on the market, says Nina Hatvany, one of San Francisco's top agents, who has been working in the area for over 30 years.
The situation is much more dire in Oregon. According to Realtor.com, 21,400 homes are at risk, which equates to $7.3 billion worth of real estate. Markets with the most at risk include the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro area, with 10,900 at risk, and the Medford metro area, with 3,926 at risk.

Home prices and housing market activity may rise as displaced people seek alternative shelter in nearby communities, but over the longer run, she said prices are likely to "soften, as some people will rethink the desirability of living in an area subject to fire risk and time allows them to make plans to relocate elsewhere.
