    How Does Location Impact Your Home Insurance Rate?

    By Weeks And Associates | Insurance Industry | 0 comment | 7 May, 2020 | 0

    Apart from influencing the buying and selling price, the location of your property also affects your home insurance premium. Just like the age and construction of your house, its location is used to assess the risk to the insurer.

    Here are some location-related factors that can impact your home insurance rate:

    Construction Costs

    Homeowners insurance is based on the total replacement cost of your home. This means, in addition to assessing the risk of damage to your house, insurers also calculate the price of rebuilding your home if it is severely damaged during the natural disaster.

    Of course, several factors contribute to the cost of rebuilding your home. However, state regulations and the cost of raw materials are two factors that vary depending on the location and impact the cost of the rebuild and your home insurance premium.

    Weather Conditions

    Severe weather conditions are one of the top factors that affect home insurance rates. In California, being located in a wildfire zone or earthquake zone could cause your homeowners insurance premium to jump up. In many cases, earthquake insurance has to be purchased separately.

    The Infrastructure in and Around Your House

    The infrastructure in and around your house impacts your insurance rate. If your house is located in the suburbs, far away from protection that may potentially save your home during a natural disaster, fire, or robbery, it can be expensive to insure your home. For example, being located close to a fire station means your house would be better protected, leading to more favorable rates.

    As you can see, the location influences home insurance rates in many ways. However, you can reduce your home insurance rate by mitigating some of these risks by installing essential devices like a smoke alarm, fire extinguisher, and a burglar alarm to make your home more secure. For assistance with all your home insurance needs, contact the experts at Weeks & Associates Insurance Services in Thousand Oaks, California, today.
