Homeowners insurance also protects your personal property and possessions whether they’re in your home or anywhere else in the world. Contents replacement covers the cost to repair or replace your belongings in the event they are lost or damaged. Various policies have different restrictions, and our agents will go over everything with you to ensure that you don’t encounter any unpleasant surprises down the road.

Insurance broker term and definition:

Actual cash value

Actual cash value, or ACV, refers to the current value of your property. For the purposes of a homeowners policy, the ACV equals the current cost to replace your property minus depreciation. The ACV of your property plays a strong role in the cost of your premiums.

What kinds of things will affect the cost of my homeowners premiums?

The overall design of your home and its features play a huge role in the cost of homeowners coverage. Its age matters a lot too, and older homes typically cost more to insure. The location of your home is taken into consideration when calculating premiums. Protective devices, including home alarm systems, can reduce the cost of your premiums. Finally, your claims history will be taken into consideration too.
