How Much Does Homeowners Insurance Cost?

Most homeowners pay around $2,100 per year for a standard policy, but your cost can be higher or lower depending on several key factors.

State-Wise Rates

  • Florida: ~$5,640/year – high hurricane risk.
  • Louisiana: ~$5,136/year – hurricane and flood exposure.
  • Nebraska: ~$5,912/year – tornado-prone regions.
  • Hawaii: ~$616–$733/year – low natural disaster risk.
  • Vermont: ~$816/year – among the lowest in the nation.

What Affects Your Premium?

Location

Homes in areas prone to hurricanes, wildfires, floods, or other natural hazards cost more to insure.

Age of the home

Older homes or those with outdated wiring, plumbing, or roofing cost more to insure. 

Claims history

Recent insurance claims or lower credit scores can increase rates. 

Natural disaster

Some insurance companies will give you a discount if you buy multiple coverages through them.

What are Some Exclusions for Your Home Insurance?

Not everything is automatically covered under a standard homeowner’s policy. Knowing common exclusions helps you avoid surprises and ensures you can add optional protection where needed.
