LOS ANGELES - TelAve -- Homeowners insurance rates vary widely from state to state, even city to city. Currently, the average national homeowners insurance rate is $1,915 a year for $300,000 worth of dwelling coverage. In 2023, the average premium was around $1,700. There is little hope that rates will go down in the near future, unless there are fewer severe storms and wildfires.

While most states have seen an increase in homeowners insurance rates, not all states have been hit very hard. Those who live in low-crime areas that are not much affected by extreme weather or wildfires will see a less dramatic increase in 2025, maybe less than 4%.

In 2024, insurance companies raised California homeowners insurance rates by 20%, largely due to unexpected losses caused by severe wildfires. This came as no surprise, seeing that home insurance rates have gone up, on average, around 27% in many parts of the country.(1)
