Homeowner\u2019s insurance helps protect you, your home, and your belongings from a variety of unexpected events. A standard key policy includes four key types of coverage: dwelling, other structures, personal property, and liability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

If your home is damaged by a covered event, like strong winds, dwelling coverage can help pay to repair it.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say a detached structure of your property, like a shed, is damaged by a fire. Other structure coverage can help pay for its repairs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Personal property coverage can help protect what is inside your home, like electronics, furniture, and clothing if they are stolen or damaged.<\/p>\n

If a visitor is injured at your home or you accidentally damage another person\u2019s property liability coverage can help pay the related expenses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Keep in mind; you may have to pay a deductible before your coverage kicks in. Each coverage type has a limit, which is the maximum amount your insurance will pay towards a claim. <\/p>

When it comes to protecting your home, it is important to understand what your policy covers. You can speak to your trusted insurance agent to know your options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If you are shopping for a home in a specific area, neighborhood, or part of town, we would suggest you get a homeowner\u2019s insurance quote.\u00a0<\/p>

You can\u2019t get a home insurance quote based on the town, but what you can do is, reach out to a local insurance agent or go online as there are many online websites where you can type the address of the house that you like.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The address that you have don\u2019t need to be your finalized home or under contract to get a home insurance quote. If it comes up that the house is not insurable, that is a red flag.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

This tells you that the house or the area that you are looking to buy the house in has a higher risk of getting fire, flood, or any other events.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

If the house that you have shortlisted falls on the insurable list, you can get in touch with the local insurance agent and ask for a homeowner\u2019s insurance quote.\u00a0<\/p>

Getting the home insurance quote can also help your loan officer qualify you for the loan properly.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Let\u2019s say the lender has qualified you for a loan amount of $200,000. The lenders assume that the homeowner\u2019s insurance is roughly around $50.\u00a0<\/p>

The lender just assumes the home insurance amount based on the loan amount and not based on the area.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

However, if the house is in a high-risk area, the insurance amount could be around $400, which is way higher than what your loan officer had anticipated.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

A lot of people would think that if you are buying a $200,000 home, the homeowner\u2019s insurance couldn\u2019t be that much. There are areas in the country where the homeowner\u2019s insurance is more than the property taxes.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

If you are payment sensitive, you may want to know your home insurance payment per month upfront.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The best way to meet the payment goal is by getting the homeowner\u2019s insurance quote upfront. Make sure you try to get the quote in the first week to know what are payments you are going to pay by the end of every month.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Also, shop for the insurance quote before you finalize your loan so that you can get the best offers from multiple insurance companies.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
