Q: WHY DO I NEED TO DO A COMPLETE INVENTORY OF MY HOME?

When you are getting started with your homeowners insurance policy, you will be asked to complete an inventory of your personal possession and other elements of the home. This is completed for two reasons.

It allows the insurance company to get a better idea of the total value of your property, and it acts as a comprehensive list of your possessions that can be valued and replaced in the event that they were damaged during a fire, storm, or other disaster.

Q: WHAT CAN AFFECT THE PRICE OF MY HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE?

There are many elements that can affect the cost of your homeowners insurance premium. A few of the many things to consider before you choose a homeowners insurance policy are:

  • Age and structure type of the property – If your home is older it may cost more to insure. Homeowners insurance agents see older homes as more of a liability, as they are more likely to need repairs, which is why your premium might increase.

  • Location of your home – In the event that your home is near the water, near a fire station, or in an area where it it more easily susceptible to damage, your premium could increase.

  • Personal credit – Your personal credit history is a well-known factor that can affect the price of your premium. The better your credit, the less you’ll end up paying.

  • Smoking habits – In most cases, smokers end up paying more for their homeowners insurance, as cigarette smoke can cause damage to the integrity of the home.

  • Preventative devices – By installing a smoke detector or burglar alarm, you can end up paying less for your monthly premium.

  • Your past claims – If you have a history of claims on your homeowners insurance policy, you might end up paying a higher monthly premium.
