Many Atlanta homeowners are waking up to the fact that perhaps buying a home in a flood zone wasn’t a good idea. This comes after Atlatna has just come through a record drought.  Maybe buying a home from an Internet portal wasn’t a smart idea since it did not tell you the home you were purchasing was in a flood zone.  The website did not have access to tax maps and flood maps that identified the flood maps and associated hazard.  If you were working with an experienced Atlanta buyers agent, your agent could have easily informed you of that fact, that is if you had an agent.  The sad fact is that it really doesn’t matter if the home is in a 100 or 500 year plain.  Today after record rains in Atlanta... that is just degrees of wet! Many areas of Atlanta over the last few days were inundated with anywhere from 5' to 20 inches of rain in a few days.  It was unrelenting.
