Long term, well people have short memories. I'd say prices will be back to normal within 2 years. The homes right on the river I don't think will be affected that much since the people buying those homes probably don't sweat needing to do a few hundred thousand dollar reno every 10 years.

Plus, I don't think the government has a cap on the value of a principal residence they'll pay for the recovery of under disaster relief. (IIRC, is that what happened in 2005?) So taxpayers may end up rebuilding/restoring damage to riverside mansions. I don't think there was any means testing in '05, but I'm not positive.
