Is Home Insurance the Next Housing Crisis?

The Silent Killer of Home Affordability: Soaring Insurance Rates


Between skyrocketing home prices and high mortgage rates, another financial burden is squeezing homeowners: insurance premiums. Since 2020, costs have jumped 24%, making housing even less affordable.


Who’s most affected?

  • High-risk states (Florida, California) face the steepest hikes.
  • Middle-class families may struggle with rising monthly payments.


Solutions?

  • Review coverage annually – Are you over-insured?
  • Improve home safety – Discounts for storm-proofing or security systems.
  • Check for government programs – Some states offer relief.
