Homeowners may not realize that a single storm, fire or liability claim can create financial hardship that takes years to recover from. Homeowners insurance can financially protect you by transferring that risk so that unexpected events do not drain your savings or leave you without a place to live.

Factors Affecting Homeowners Insurance Costs

Your premium is shaped by many variables, including the age and construction of your home, its distance from a fire station, your claims history and the coverage limits you select. Homes in areas prone to flooding or high winds often carry higher premiums, and certain features like a swimming pool or an older roof may also influence your rate.

How Home Insurance Deductibles Work

Your deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance starts covering the remaining costs of a claim. A higher deductible generally lowers your premium, while a lower deductible means you pay less after a loss. Some policies carry separate deductibles for specific perils like wind or hail, so review your policy documents carefully.
