        "text": "Hurricane preparedness features and flood zone status significantly impact a waterfront home's valuation. Properties with robust hurricane-resistant construction, impact-resistant windows, or a higher elevation may command a premium due to reduced risk. Conversely, homes in high-risk flood zones often incur higher insurance costs and may require specific flood mitigation measures, which can influence buyer interest and overall value. Buyers in coastal areas like Miami-Dade and Collier County often prioritize these considerations for long-term protection and cost.",
