Rising HOA fees and insurance premiums are reshaping the true cost of owning a home, with climate risk increasingly at the center of it all. In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Alma Cortés Selva, Senior Advisor at the BMO Climate Institute, sits down with Matt Schulz, Chief Consumer Finance Analyst at LendingTree, to unpack how these interconnected pressures are driving a new affordability reality across U.S. housing markets.

They explore why homeowners, lenders, and investors can no longer view housing costs in isolation, how climate exposure is influencing buyer behavior and property values, and why insurance is quickly becoming a defining factor in market access.
