- Location – Insurance companies will consider the crime rate in your area, how close your home is to a fire department, and the likelihood for weather-related claims.
- Type of construction – Companies will check to see whether your home is made of wood, stucco siding, brick, or stone.
- Age of home – Newer homes can typically qualify for reduced rates. • Amount of coverage – the amount of coverage you purchase on your home, the contents within the home, and the liability limit will all contribute to the cost of your policy.
- Loss valuation – the way your policy will pay for your home in the event of a claim–whether it will pay the actual cash value or the amount it costs to replace the items lost.
- Deductible – how much of a loss you are willing to pay before you insurance begins to chip in. If you have a mortgage on your home, the greatest amount of your deductible will many times be imposed by your lender.
