[quote=Anonymous]Look, it depends on how much you like the house, how much likelihood there is of water ever being an issue for the house, and whether you can mitigate it. We looked at a house that had a 7/10 flood rating but was clearly built on an underground spring. They had three sump pumps and a gas generator wired to run them in case of power outages. The basement was dry, and someone went to a lot of expense to keep it that way. We lost the house in a bidding war, so it didn't turn off prospective buyers. Something like a steep slope towards the house, or that damp basement thread from earlier in the month where the sellers hadn't done anything to fix the problem, is more of a big deal. Or in your case, understanding just how much risk there might be to the property itself if we got one of those 1-in-10000 year rainstorms. (Get flood insurance, it's cheap.)[/quote]
