Homeowners across the U.S. will see steeper insurance bills in 2025, with premiums rising due to escalating climate risks and soaring repair costs. According to a new study by Insurify, the average annual premium is expected to jump 8% to $3,520, adding roughly $261 per household.
Natural disasters—wildfires, hurricanes, and severe storms—are driving up claims.
Inflation in construction costs makes repairs more expensive, forcing insurers to raise premiums.
Since 2017, weather-related disasters have caused over $1 trillion in damage (NCEI).
Florida – Already the costliest at $15,460/year (up 9%), with Hialeah topping U.S. cities at $26,693.
Louisiana – Premiums skyrocketed 38% to $13,937/year due to hurricane risks and insurer losses.
Oklahoma – Up to $8,369/year after tornadoes and hail led some insurers to drop policies.
