Why Is Your Home Insurance Bill Starting to Look Like a Mortgage Payment?
Let’s talk about it.
Rising home insurance rates are hitting families hard across North America. If your premiums feel higher than ever, you’re not imagining things. 📈 In some regions, rates have jumped 20% or more. So why is this happening?
🌀 Reason 1: Extreme Weather Events
Wildfires, floods, and severe storms are becoming more frequent—and more destructive. As insurers pay out more claims, they raise premiums to offset the risk.
💸 Reason 2: Inflation
Construction, labour, and materials all cost more than they did just a few years ago. When repairs are more expensive, insurers increase premiums to cover the higher potential payout.
📉 Reason 3: Fewer Insurance Options
In high-risk areas, some insurers are scaling back coverage—or leaving the market entirely. With fewer companies to choose from, the remaining providers often charge higher rates.
🧠 The Good News: You Still Have Options
✔️ Shop around—don’t settle for the first quote.
✔️ Bundle your home and auto policies for discounts.
✔️ Ask your broker about water protection, deductible options, and loyalty perks.
✔️ Stay on top of home maintenance—some insurers reward proactive homeowners.
🎯 Bottom Line
Home insurance is becoming more expensive, but with the right advice you can still protect your home without stretching your budget.
