Homeowners insurance is essential — and expensive. The average cost for a policy with a $300,000 dwelling coverage limit rose in 2024, landing at $2,377 per year, according to Insurify data. If you live in a state with high risks from severe weather, like Florida, your annual home insurance premium can be much higher than the national average.

Comparing quotes from multiple companies could help you find the most affordable coverage for your needs. But keep in mind that the company with the cheapest rates may not be the best option for you.

Here’s what you need to know to find cheap home insurance.

Quick Facts
  • Grange is the cheapest nationally available home insurance company, on average.

  • Your home’s age, location, structure, and other factors affect the cost of home insurance.

  • Florida is the most expensive state for home insurance, with an average annual premium of $5,640 for $300,000 in dwelling coverage. While Vermont has the cheapest home insurance coverage, averaging $936 per year.

Your exact premium will depend on factors like your home’s size, location, and age. It may also be possible to find cheaper coverage through regional insurance companies like Vermont Mutual, which has the lowest rates of any insurer, according to Insurify data, but is only available in seven U.S. states. Regional insurers vary in size and aren’t available in every state.

The following table shows the average annual premium for $300,000 in dwelling coverage from top, widely available (operating in more than 26 states) home insurance companies.

  • Our editorial team spent more than 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. The team weighted criteria by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.

    We rate each company on a 1 to 10 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. Insurify updates ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.

    • Third-party financial ratings: Insurify uses data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
    • Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 55,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
    • Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the U.S., as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
    • Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
    • Availability and reach: Insurify scores availability and reach by identifying the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share.

Cheapest home insurance by dwelling coverage

Higher dwelling coverage limits result in higher premiums. But it’s important to consider the value of your home and your location’s risk when determining how much coverage you need. Generally, your dwelling coverage amount should be equal to at least 80% of your home’s replacement cost.

It’s also important to note that the cheapest insurer for your desired dwelling coverage limit can vary.

Cheapest home insurance by state

Vermont has the lowest average annual home insurance rate for a policy with a $300,000 dwelling coverage limit: $936, according to Insurify data. Hawaii and Alaska are the second- and third-cheapest states, with average annual premiums of $1,380 and $1,224, respectively.

Florida is the most expensive state for home insurance, with an average annual premium of $5,640. The state’s exposure to severe coastal weather results in a higher number of claims and a high cost of claims, which pushes home insurance costs higher.

Flood-prone Louisiana has the second-highest home insurance costs in the country. The average annual premium for $300,000 of dwelling coverage in Louisiana is $5,136 per month, according to Insurify data.

Rates differ so drastically between states for various reasons. Many states, like Florida, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, are much more prone to severe weather than others, resulting in more expensive premiums. Things like the cost of materials, location, and labor costs can also affect your home insurance premiums.

Always compare quotes from multiple insurance companies before buying a policy. The table below shows the cheapest insurers in every state, and the cheapest monthly rates for a $300,000 dwelling coverage limit.

    Compare home insurance quotes

    Quote comparison is one of the best ways to lower your home insurance rates. Always compare quotes from at least three insurers before buying a policy.

    Increase your deductible

    Increasing your home insurance deductible will lower your premium. Just be sure you can afford to pay the deductible out of pocket if you need to file a claim.

    Raise your credit

    Improving your credit could lead to lower home insurance rates. Insurers correlate bad credit with a higher likelihood of filing a claim.

    Look for discounts

    Many insurers offer a plethora of discounts that you can take advantage of. You may be able to get discounts for things like loyalty, building with better materials, and having home security.

  • Most insurance companies offer discounts that can help reduce the cost of home insurance. Common discounts include:

    • Bundling: Insurance companies typically offer a discount if you buy two types of policies — home and auto, for example — from the same insurer.

    • Paid in full: Paying your entire year’s premium at the beginning of the policy, or when it renews, could yield a discount.

    • Claims-free: You may qualify for a discount if you haven’t had any claims within a certain time frame.

    • Wind mitigation: If you make home improvements that reduce your home’s risk of wind damage, your insurer may offer a discount.

    • Paperless: You may get a discount if you agree to receive policy documents, bills, and communications digitally.

    • Green: Insurers often reward homeowners who update their home to green standards with a discount. You’ll likely need to have your home certified by an organization like the Leadership Energy & Environmental Design Organization (LEED).

Cheapest home insurance for new construction: AIG

AIG is the cheapest home insurance company for new construction, with an average annual premium of $756 for $300,000 in dwelling coverage. Newer homes tend to be cheaper to insure than older homes since they’re less likely to have issues that require claim payouts.

Cheapest home insurance for bad credit: AIG

In most states, home insurance companies can consider your credit history when establishing rates. Insurers don’t look at your actual credit score. Instead, they use credit information to generate credit-based insurance scores and predict your likelihood of filing a claim.[2]

Here are average annual premiums for $300,000 in dwelling coverage for policyholders with poor credit.

Cheapest home insurance for high deductible: American Family

Home insurance policies typically have one or more deductibles, an amount you’ll have to pay out of pocket toward a covered loss before your insurance kicks in. Because a higher deductible is your way of sharing more risk with the insurer, the higher your deductible, the lower your premium will generally be.

But before buying a high-deductible policy, make sure you can afford to pay it out of pocket in the event of a claim.

The following table shows average annual premiums for a policy with $1 million in dwelling coverage and a $10,000 deductible.

Cheapest home insurance for bundling home and auto insurance: AIG

Bundling home and auto insurance is one of the best ways to save money on a policy.[3] Discounts can range from 10% to 25% — or even more — depending on the insurance company. Bundling may result in savings on one or both policies you buy with the same company.

Cheapest home insurance for high-value homes: American Family

Your home’s value directly affects how much you’ll pay to insure it each year. Generally, homes with higher values cost more to repair or rebuild and often contain luxury items or features that are costly to replace.

Insurers typically consider a home with a value of $750,000 or more to be a high-value home, although some companies may set the threshold at $1 million or more. Here are average annual premiums for a $1 million home insurance policy from top insurers.

What factors affect the cost of home insurance?

Many different factors affect the cost of home insurance, such as:

  • The size of your home: The larger your home, the more it’ll cost to replace. Insurers consider this when setting your rate.

  • Local building costs: Your premiums could increase if you live in an area where building supplies and labor are expensive, which drives up repair costs.

  • Your credit history: Insurance companies consider your credit when setting rates and usually offer lower rates to homeowners with better credit.

  • The age of your home: Older homes come with unique and often expensive repair needs. Having an older home can lead to increased premiums, as insurers will compensate for the increased cost of materials required to repair the home.

  • Location: Factors specific to your location can affect how likely you are to file a claim, like severe weather frequency, natural disasters, and crime rates. Insurers consider these factors when determining how likely you are to file a claim and how much those claims will cost.

Cheap home insurance FAQs

Finding good, cheap home insurance can be trickier than you may expect. Take a look at the answers to these commonly asked questions about finding cheap home insurance before you start your search.

  • Will your homeowners insurance go up if you file a claim?

    Yes. Your homeowners insurance will typically go up at renewal time if you file a claim. Your insurer will likely consider the type, number, and cost of the claims you filed when deciding whether to renew your policy, and at what price.

    But each state has its own regulations about how much insurers can increase rates.

  • Does age affect home insurance rates?

    Yes. Your home’s age affects your home insurance rates. It’s simple: The older your home is, the more likely it is that something in it will break.

    Newer construction has new appliances and building materials and therefore is less likely to have issues in the near future, resulting in lower home insurance rates.

  • Which company has the cheapest homeowners insurance?

    Grange has the cheapest homeowners insurance for policies with a $300,000 dwelling limit. But your rates will vary based on numerous factors, so Grange may not be the cheapest option for you.

    Your rate will depend on things like your home’s size and age, local building costs, location, dwelling coverage limit, and even your credit.

  • What is the cheapest and best insurance bundle for home and auto insurance?

    AIG is the cheapest company to bundle home and auto insurance, with an average annual premium of $1,396. But the right insurer for you will likely be different, since every home and homeowner is different. Make sure to compare quotes before buying a policy.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed rates from more than 180 home insurance companies sourced directly from Insurify’s partner companies and Quadrant Information Services. Rates span all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and quote averages represent the mean price for a given coverage level and geographic area. To ensure data reliability, only insurers meeting minimum quote thresholds were included in the analysis.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for homeowners with no prior claims and good credit with a home construction year of 1980. The default coverage assumptions include:

Default Coverage Assumptions

  • Dwelling coverage: $300,000
  • Deductible: $1,000
  • Personal property limit: $25,000
  • Liability limit: $300,000

Additional data points beyond these default values are sourced from Insurify’s proprietary database. Rates are updated monthly.
