The average cost of homeowners insurance in the U.S. is $1,899 per year. Several factors impact your home insurance rates, including the size and age of your home, your claims history, deductible amount, and much more.
But the location of your home is likely the biggest single indicator of how much you’ll pay for home insurance. Certain parts of the country are prone to extreme weather and natural disasters, while others may have higher-than-average rebuild costs due to high construction demand and inflation.
