Welcome to the First Time Home Buyer Center!


Homeowner's Insurance
 
How do I calculate:
 
  View all Calculators

Homeowners insurance offers protection for your dwelling, as well as your personal possessions and personal liability.

Homeowners' insurance varies from company to company, as do their requirements. Your premium will depend on the amount of coverage you get on your dwelling and any other items that the policy will cover.

For lending purposes, you will be required to have coverage on the dwelling for at least the loan amount.

Also keep in mind, that some agencies will offer a multi-policy discount if you have your homeowners insurance AND you auto insurance with them. Be sure to inquire about any applicable discounts.


The chart shown below below states an estimated premium amount based on the coverage amount. Take this amount and divide by 12 to get the monthly figure.

FRAME HOME BUILT AROUND 1980 AND
AFTERESTIMATED HOME INSURANCE AMOUNT
  Coverage Amount Estimated Premium
  $40,000 231.00
  $50,000 260.00
  $60,000 283.00
  $70,000 313.00
  $80,000 343.00
  $90,000 379.00
  $100,000 407.00
  $110,000 446.00
  $120,000 484.00
  $130,000 520.00
  $140,000 567.00
  $150,000 606.00
  $160,000 642.00

If you are escrowing your taxes and insurance, the monthly insurance amount calculated above, will be added to your required monthly mortgage payment to equal your total monthly payment.
