What Determines Your Premium

Five factors drive homeowners insurance cost: Home value and rebuilding cost (the biggest factor), location (coastal, wildfire, tornado, or flood zones cost 50-200% more), deductible (higher deductible = lower premium), credit score (excellent credit saves 15-30%), and claims history (prior claims raise rates 20-40% for 3-5 years).

How to Lower Your Premium

Raise your deductible from $500 to $2,500 (saves 15-25%). Bundle with auto insurance (saves 10-20%). Improve credit score. Install security systems, smoke detectors, and impact-resistant roofing (5-15% discounts). Shop every 2-3 years — loyalty rarely pays with insurance companies.

Frequently asked questions
How much is homeowners insurance?
National average: $1,800-2,400/year for a $350,000 home. This varies enormously by state — Florida and Louisiana average $4,000-6,000/year due to hurricane risk. Ohio and Vermont average $800-1,200. Your specific premium depends on home value, location, deductible, credit score, and coverage level.
What does homeowners insurance cover?
Standard policies (HO-3) cover dwelling damage, personal property, liability, and additional living expenses if you cannot live in your home. NOT covered by standard policies: floods (requires separate NFIP or private flood insurance), earthquakes (separate policy), and general wear and tear. Always read your specific policy exclusions.
