How Prime Time Inspections Can Help Florida Homeowners Save on Insurance Premiums
Florida Home Insurance: Current Landscape
Florida homeowners are currently grappling with soaring insurance costs. In the past year alone, the average premium has surged by over 40%, with Floridians now paying more than four times the national average for home insurance . This significant increase has led many to reconsider their living arrangements, with one-third of Florida homeowners who lost coverage from their insurer either moving or planning to move out of state . States like the Carolinas, with lower costs of living and less extreme weather risks, have become popular relocation destinations.
However, it's not all bad news. In 2023, the Florida homeowners insurance market saw a slight profit for the first time since 2016, with the loss ratio improving from 125% in 2022 to 40% in 2023 . Several new insurers have entered the Florida market, bringing fresh capital and providing more options for homeowners . Additionally, legislative reforms aimed at reducing frivolous litigation have resulted in a decline in homeowner insurance lawsuit volumes .
