Deep dives
California's Fire Insurance Crisis
The recent wildfires in California have exacerbated an ongoing crisis in the state's fire insurance market. Many private insurers, including State Farm and Allstate, have pulled out of high-risk areas, leaving homeowners increasingly reliant on the state-backed FAIR plan for fire insurance. This limited plan has seen its coverage costs spike significantly, putting pressure on the state to provide payouts amidst escalating claims. The situation poses a broader risk to the housing market, as reduced insurance availability can lead to lower property values and a shrinking tax base.
