Save Money On Home Insurance

We all need to cut our costs these days. At least, I know that I need to cut costs. Gas and Food prices seem to have doubled in the last year but my paycheck has not. One very obvious monthly bill to cut is my homeowners insurance bill.

I found a great article with ways to save money on home insurance. You may think that is a fixed monthly expense and no shopping can be done. But that is just not true at all. You should do price shopping.

You should also consider some improvements and repairs that home insurance companies will offer a discount for. Most car insurance companies that also offer home insurance will give you a discount for using them for both policies.

You may also consider raising your deductible. It may not be worth the extra expense to risk a $500 deductible vs. a $1500 deductible. Think about what you can afford, and how it will affect you if you actually have to use the insurance.

Is your Home or Car Insurance Company Still A Good Neighbor?

Is Your Insurance Company Pulling Out?



The word is out that Allstate is pulling out of Virgina and other coastal states. Apparently changine climate conditions have made these places a poor risk. I'm not sure if other companies have pulled out lately, and if this effects home insurance only - or car insurance as well.

Anyway, if you have gotten a termination notice from your own insurance company, you may need to do some quick insurance shopping. Remember, you are protecting some of your biggest investments - your home and your car - the place you live, and your transportation -- so try not to make your decision impulsively or in a panic.

If rates have gone up, look for multiple policy discounts. Auto home discounts, or having more than one car insurance policy with the same company may help out some. If that still doesn't shave enough off the rate, find out how much a small increase in the deductible will help you out.

Homeowners Insurance Premiums -- Stop The Bleeding

Pare down those home insurance rates today!

One of the signifigant costs of home ownership is homeowners insurance, though many of us don't even really spend a lot of time thinking about it. If you have a mortgage, your lender probably requires you to carry homeowners insurance. Even if your home is free and clear, you will probably be prudent to carry a homeowners insurance policy to protect your house and property against theft, accidents, or damage. Consider how you would pay for damage caused by a storm or theft, or consider how you would defend yourself if somebody is injured on your property and claim it is your fault.

Shop Around!

Your premiums are affected by where you live, your claim history, and even your credit report. A past claim or credit problem should not affect your rates forever! Also, you may be entitled to a discount because of safety protection you have installed, a professional or association membership, or by using the same company for your car and home insurance!

On line insurance quoting systems make it very easy to compare rates available in your neighborhood.

Consider the Deductible

If your deductible is $250, you may save over 20 percent by raising it to $1,000. If you could afford $1,000 if you do have a claim, consider a higher deductible policy. If your homeowners insurance is $150 a month right now, then you can save the extra $750 over the course of a couple of years.

If you are shopping for a new home, consider the cost of homeowners insurance when you are estimating your total costs.
