Home Insurance

Homeowner’s insurance policies, often referred to as “property insurance”, provide coverage that will replace or repair the policy holder’s home in the event of damage. This type of damage commonly includes fire damage, damage from criminal break-ins, or severe weather. Home insurance policies usually extend to appliances and possessions within the house, as well as outbuildings on the property, like sheds, grills, and fountains.

Homeowner’s insurance varies by state. On average, a regular homeowner will spend $1,668 annually in Alabama, and $139 per month.

A person’s level of coverage will depend on the immediate factors of their area. Some things to consider when determining whether or not one should invest in plans with higher premiums are: local common weather risks, local construction costs, the make and material of the home, the price of the house and the items within, and whether or not one’s home is up to code.

Most homeowner’s insruance policies will cover sudden, accidental, and unexpected water damage that occurs due to broken pipes or faulty plumbing. However, it is important to note that gradual damage, like through pipe leaks, is not covered by most policies. Additionally, most insurance policies will only cover piles that the policyholder is legally responsible for.

So long as there are no differences in what is offered between separate homeowners and auto insurance policies compared to bundled policy offers, the decision will ultimately come down to price. Most companies offered better discounts for bundling, but it isn’t a steadfast rule that a bundle will be less expensive, so stay vigilant.
