Insurance Costs and Trends

Insurance prices for landlords have surged due to rising claims from hurricanes and severe weather phenomena. Specifically, the string of costly hurricanes and an increase in hail claims have forced insurance companies to adjust their pricing models, often resulting in annual increases of 5% to 20%. This has created a lag effect where current rates reflect the profitability of the insurance industry from two years ago, leading to sustained higher costs. However, there are signs that this trend may be stabilizing, with potential rate cuts of 1% to 2% on the horizon as profitability returns to the industry.
