New Orleans is a good case for buying flood insurnace even when not
required in certain areas. I will continue to buy the insurance, but
it will cost significantly less -- I figure at least $1000 per year
less. This has to have an impact on home values. Anyone have this
experience?

Thank you.

The less you need it, the cheaper it is.
I'd have to be on top of a big old hill before I would forgo flood
insurance.

*I'm* on the top of a big old hill.

I had a flood claim back in January 1996 due to extreme runoff conditions. Good
thing I had the low-risk flood insurance.
