Homeowners insurance cost factors
Many factors can impact your cost of homeowners insurance, including location, construction materials, coverage selections, prior claims, and your insurance score. See below for more information about the components affecting pricing for homeowners insurance:
Location
Homeowners insurance rates vary by region, and even by zip code. If you reside in a state prone to severe weather issues like tornadoes, hurricanes, and hail, you could pay more for home insurance than homeowners in states that aren't plagued by catastrophic weather. Areas with lower construction costs often enjoy more favorable home insurance rates as well.
More location-based factors that can affect home insurance prices include:
- Coastal properties: Homes in coastal regions are sometimes riskier to insure than inland properties due to a greater chance for natural disasters.
- Crime rates in your ZIP code: Your insurer can use this information to determine how likely you are to file a theft claim.
- Homes near woods and brush: These properties are susceptible to damage from wildfire and falling trees.
- Proximity to a fire hydrant and fire department: Easy access to a water source means a fire is more quickly extinguished.
Type of home
One of the first questions asked by a home insurer is, "What kind of home do you have?" Construction materials, and other home specs, can raise the overall value of your property and increase the cost of your homeowners insurance.
For example, concrete block homes typically cost less to insure than wood frame houses because they're less susceptible to fires and strong winds. Your insurer will also ask about your siding type, flooring materials, and even how you heat the home to assess the risk of insuring it.
Roof construction
Your roof's construction and shape can also be critical when it comes to the cost of your homeowners insurance. If your roof material is asphalt shingles, which are less flammable, you usually have a lower home insurance cost than if you had a cedar or wood-shakes roof.
Gable roofs are the most common and affordable roof type to install, but they are prone to wind damage. Hip roofs (characterized by all sides gently sloping downward) often cost more to install, but are more resistant to wind and could lessen the price of home insurance.
Prior claims and coverage selections
Home insurance companies focus on claims you previously filed. If you had multiple losses, you'll likely pay a higher rate as you're more likely to file another claim.
Your home insurance cost can also depend on the home insurance coverages and deductibles you select. Eliminating extra protection (like personal injury coverage) and lowering your limits of liability may save you a modest amount of money. Conversely, you can often increase your coverage by thousands and your home insurance rate will only be minimally impacted.
Insurance score
Home insurers may use an insurance score in some states. Each company uses its own method of calculating an insurance score, which typically includes a blend of credit and claims histories. Insurers value this information because there is a correlation between credit history and insurance risk. The higher your score, the lower your home insurance cost.
Home insurance cost FAQs
What if I am running a business out of my home?
If you're running a business out of your home, you may be denied coverage or pay a higher home insurance rate. It often depends on the nature of your business, and your insurer may require you to purchase a separate policy.
Why does home insurance ask about dogs?
Because you could be liable if your dog bites someone, coverage for animal liability may increase the cost of your home insurance. It's important to note that some insurers won't cover dog bites regardless of the breed, so you'll want to consult your policy to see if you're covered. If not, you can purchase separate insurance for dog bite incidents.
Do trampolines and swimming pools raise homeowners insurance?
Due to the potential for injury, insurance companies consider trampolines and pools to be "attractive nuisances," and will raise the cost of your homeowners insurance. Some companies won't cover trampolines, and many require a fence or locked gate, at least four feet high, around a pool in order to qualify for coverage.
