While your home insurance rates can (and likely will) differ from the averages, these are a good benchmark for understanding what others in your area are paying. It can help to see where your home premiums lie and some of the various factors you can change. Every carrier looks at specific criteria when determining the cost of your insurance. While some elements are outside of your control, there are many factors that you can control. Here are some of the carrier rating factors used by various carriers:

• Weather (is your area prone to severe weather such as tornadoes, hail, or flooding?) 
• Local crime rates
• Your claims history
• The coverages you select 
• Your credit score (the lower your score is, the higher your rate will be)
• The year, construction type, and square footage of your home
• Discounts you may qualify for (do you have a home security system? are you bundling with another policy?)

Common Home Insurance Questions from Our Customers In Lubbock, TX

Are homeowners insurance rates going up?

Yes, due to the many extreme weather patterns we have seen including powerful tornadoes, wildfires, and destructive hurricanes, we have seen an increase in homeowners insurance rates year after year. This is why it is so important for homeowners to purchase the right coverage today as opposed to waiting as rates continue to rise.

Does homeowners insurance cover tree damage?

If the damage is caused by a covered peril then your homeowners insurance will cover it; however, if the damage is due to another peril that is not covered in your homeowners insurance, then you will need additional coverage to stay protected. Windstorm coverage and personal liability can help pay for tree damage should a tree fall on your property or damage another person’s property beyond their insurance’s policy limit. It should be noted that if a tree falls on your neighbor’s property, typically their homeowners insurance will pick up the bill. Speaking with your insurance agent to better understand your policy and the coverages you need will help understand how you are covered more thoroughly as every home is different.

Can you get homeowners insurance with bad credit?

Yes, while bad credit will mean that you will likely see higher insurance premiums each month, you can still receive homeowners insurance. Working on your credit can help improve your insurance score (which considers your credit) and provide a cheaper home insurance premium down the line.
