State Farm for those wondering.

Welcome to the party pal.

When I moved to my house in 2017, it was $760/year. It’s now $3400. No claims.

No such thing as a free lunch.

You’ve probably gotten a ton of equity from appreciation in 6yrs.

Eat it or move into a van down on the river.

We had the same thing happen, so we went out for quotes with other agencies. Found something from a big name with equitable coverage for a 5% increase (instead of the 30%) for the same coverage. I'm gonna start quoting all the big names for auto and home yearly from now on. (Which I probably should have always been doing but cie la vie.)

Got a message from my agent,  requesting a sit down,  no thanks! I don't need you to spit in my face, grind the dirt in and tell me your hands are tied and maybe to ease your pain we can restructure your coverage.

On my only hand me down 24 year old GMT-400, YEAH IT HURTS. But I'd like to have the fantasy that I could find a cheap replacement and a little savings.

Record hailstorms ravaged Texas last year, and forecasters are increasingly concerned about the rising costs associated with storm repairs.


Storms in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in June 2023 caused an estimated $7 billion to $10 billion in insured losses, with 95% of the loss caused by hail.
The CoreLogic report says it’s too early to determine if climate change caused so much damaging hail last year, but they clarify that the high cost of damages can be blamed on the rising cost of replacing roofs, windows and siding.
And with more hailstorms like these, we’ll likely see increases in our property insurance bills in the months ahead.

My homeowners insurance went up 44% this year.

I have never had a claim. My agent told me the same thing, all the hailstorm damage over the last few years, plus the increased property values…

I’m shopping for a new policy.

Mine doubled last year.  From 2,700 to 5,400.  This year, it went up another 700.  Don’t even get me started on auto.  No claims, no accidents….. Farm Bureau…. Seems a new roof to replace my 15 y/o roof and then do some tap ins and have a wind mitigation done, may bring my homeowners down to around 3800.

Dumped state farm last month.  Been with them for many years.  My car insurance slowly crept up to about $4800 a year; haven't made a claim in something like 30 years.  

After the last $60/month increase, I cancelled, and went with another well known company, and saved at least $1000/year.  

What irritated me was my agent got quite the attitude and outright lied when I sent him the quote so he could attempt to adjust the policy to come close in price.  He couldn't.

Sorry, bro.  Just business.  You'd have done the same.

State Farm was just downgraded by AM Best to a B (fair) rating from an A rating. This is a HUGE deal as many home loans require the insurance to be with a carrier rated A- or better. State Farm is the canary in the coal mine and it’s only going to get worse from here.

Higher deductibles, wind and hail specific deductibles, all with higher premiums (and depending on your neck of the woods, that’s IF you can even get coverage).

Insurance is a shitshow right now.

ETA: State Farm posted a $14 billion underwriting loss last year. That’s not a way to remain solvent as an insurer.

That’s probably true but doesn’t tell the whole story, which would be that it was 7% in 2021 and 6% in 2022 so a couple years at 3% isn’t offsetting those high years.

My Florida insurance has more than tripled in the 8 years I’ve been here. No claims and there was no real Hurricane Michael damage other than a few trees within 25 miles. To those on the beach, you’re welcome for the subsidization you get from the poors inland.

You have to shop it every three years, @M41A.  It sucks, but that's the way the industry works.  I have bounced between Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, And State Farm.  Every time it's the same thing . . . those "teaser" incentives roll off, but you can go and get them from the next company.

Works every time.

In my area the stated reason for the premium hikes is increased costs for replacements and repairs.  Labor and material costs are way up.

I had my roof replaced last year for hail damage. 32k.  Looking forward to this year's insurance quote. Country Companies.

I suppose as long as you have your house paid off, you're not really required to carry insurance.

Check out Farm Bureau. I saved $2,000.00 a month on my house policy alone after dropping State Farm and going with Farm Bureau with the exact same coverage. I now have Farm Bureau for my house and both trucks. Bonus is that the Farm Bureau agent lives local to me and the claims adjusters are local, not out of staters like Start Farm used. In case I forgot to mention it, fuck State Farm.

My policy went up again this year. It was about to be 85% higher than it was when we moved in four years ago.

Built a house on some farm land wife and I purchased and just resolved to understanding that's what it's going to cost out here.

Policy has some sort of replacement clause built into policy that re-rates the cost to rebuild house if it's destroyed over time. Gone up a good bit since we moved in.

I need that type of provision.


Anyway doesn't make it any easier to swallow.  

I decided to do a little investigating and learned that I was paying a premium based on the worst fire protection rating in the state, but am served by local volunteer that did some significant upgrades a few years before we moved in and I actually have a fire protection rating much better.

Premium recalculation resulted in my new premium being less than what it was when we moved in. I'm expecting a sizable refund check for overpayment soon too.

Also raised deductible to 2500 which knocked another good chunk off the premium.


This probably won't apply to most folks in an existing neighborhood but it cut my premium in half by checking into this.

might be worth a little effort to verify for someone else here?
