Miami-Dade County
Finding the Best Home Insurance for Your Miami-Dade Home
Though Miami is one of the three United States cities most vulnerable to hurricanes (along with New York City and New Orleans), it hasn’t been directly hit by a tropical storm since Hurricane Cleo in 1964. That’s not to say that Miami-Dade County has dodged storms completely. Hurricanes Andrew, Katrina, and Wilma caused catastrophic damage to businesses and homes. If you’re concerned about the cost of Miami-Dade County home insurance due to the damage caused by weather, you’re not alone.
Understanding Home Insurance Costs in Southern Florida
While tourists may flock to the Magic City for its culture, glamorous atmosphere, dining, and glistening ocean views with a stunning architectural backdrop, businesses and homeowners are the heart of the community. Zillow reports that the county’s home values have gone up noticeably over the past year and are expected to continue rising.
With real estate, what matters is location, location, location. Home insurance is no different. The average annual premium for Miami-Dade County home insurance will always be at the high end of the range.
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, private-market insurers are reducing the number of homes they are willing to insure in Miami-Dade county due to claims of abuse and excessive lawsuits in the area.
How to Choose the Right Home Insurance for Your Needs
Insurance companies provide a few options for your Miami-Dade homeowners insurance. Consider more than just price when choosing your insurance. Ask yourself these questions:
- Are you planning on living in the home or renting it out?
- What is the home’s value? What is the value of your assets inside the home?
- Are you willing to increase your risk of not having enough protection to save money?
- How fast will your insurance company answer your questions?
- How financially secure is your insurance company?
- After a hurricane, how soon can your insurer respond if you have a claim?
- Does your insurer offer any discounts for installing safety features?
Saving on Your Home Insurance
Although Miami-Dade property insurance may seem pricey, compare that to having to pay to replace your most valuable asset after a hurricane or other disaster. Many customers can still find ways of saving on their home insurance. Bundling your home and auto insurance is one approach. Upgrading your home with better roofing materials or an alarm system may also lower your premiums. Smoke alarms reduce the risk of fire (and the resulting damage) in your home. Having a smoke-free home may also give you a small discount. You should discuss any potential insurance credits with your agent, such as rewiring an older home or simply being a senior citizen.
Protecting Your Home
Although your mortgage company requires home insurance, look beyond the bare minimum to make sure you’re getting the best Miami-Dade County house insurance to cover your needs. Read through your policy to know what is covered and what isn’t. Get the best rates by talking to your agent and asking for more information about the policies. Contact TopLine Insurance for rates and coverage for your Miami-Dade home.
