With the numerous options available, you may be wondering about the cost of homeowners insurance. This guide provides a breakdown of the average cost of homeowners insurance and what to expect when getting coverage.
Home insurance is technically a type of property coverage. Policies offer financial compensation when perils damage your home and personal items. Policies may cover the structure of the home, structural attachments to the property, offer liability coverage or replace personal items.

Homeowners insurance costs about $1500 per year. Many factors contribute to the price of a policy. These factors include:
There are factors you can control that affect your overall policy cost, like your deductible amount. If you have a higher deductible, you pay more out of pocket if damages occur.
