How to Navigate the Crippling Home Insurance Crisis

How to Navigate the Crippling Home Insurance Crisis

Why are homeowners seeing home insurance premiums increases of up to 70%, as David has? What can you do if your insurer drops you, you get a huge premium increase, or you can no longer afford coverage?

Topics covered include:

  • What are the primary drivers of home insurance price increases
  • Why these increases don't show up in the U.S. consumer price index
  • How the reinsurance market works and why reinsurers are passing on 50% premium increases to property and casualty insurers.
  • What percentage of home insurers self-insure
  • What else can homeowners do
