First-Time Home Buyer? Get the Facts About Home Insurance

If you are a first-time home buyer perusing the market, you know how complicated the process can be. The reward of purchasing a home will likely outweigh the journey you took to get to that point. However, you should learn more about your home insurance options before you sign on the dotted line.

You Need to Purchase Home Insurance 
Home insurance protects your home from the unknown. In many cases, it may even be the law to carry some form of homeowners insurance. 

Accidents like fires and damage to your siding can set you back financially. You can usually count on your home insurance provider if you experience a covered loss. They will usually help you cover some or all of the cost of fixing your home. 

The Least Expensive Policy May Not Be the Best Policy 
We’ve all heard the saying that you get what you pay for. That saying rings true in so many aspects of our lives. It also rings true when it comes to home insurance. 

Often, a cheaper home insurance policy doesn’t meet all your needs. On the other hand, an expensive policy may not be what you need either. You should shop around and compare policies before you purchase one. Ask questions while shopping around to ensure that you are comparing each policy apples to apples. 

There Are Limits to Home Insurance Policies 
Understanding insurance policies can be confusing. However, with so much at stake—your first home—it’s imperative that you understand your home insurance policy.  

More specifically, understand the coverage limits. Coverage limits include items your insurance provider won’t cover under your policy. 

Know what damages your insurance will not cover. You can purchase additional insurance to expand your home insurance coverage. For example, you may want to buy flood insurance along with your home insurance coverage. 

Insure Your Home Based on Risks 
The risks that threaten your home can still be different from those that endanger the home of another. One factor that affects what risks could result in a loss is where you live. For instance, people who live on the east coast don’t have to contend with earthquakes as often as homeowners on the west coast. 

As such, when you are shopping for home insurance, you must consider what risks more commonly threaten your home. You should purchase insurance based on this information. 

Your home is the largest investment you will make in your life. When you purchase home insurance, you are reinforcing the values you associate with homeownership. 

We are proud to offer a variety of home insurance options. We can help you find a policy that fits your home. Do you have questions about purchasing home insurance? Call us today at 800-820-0004.
