Compare 2025 Homeowners Insurance Rates in Every State
According to a recent study by Insurify, homeowners in every state will be paying more for insurance coverage by the end of the year.
The study found that climate change fueled natural disaster are the main cause of ever-increasing homeowner premiums. Wildfires out west, hailstorms in the Midwest and hurricanes and flooding in the South are leading to more frequent claims which combined with higher payout amounts are pushing insurers to raise rates.
Insurify predicts that the cost of homeowners coverage will jump up 8% by the end of the year with the national average paid for coverage hitting $3,520. This translates into a $261 increase for the average household over the next 12 months.
“Areas that are more sensitive to climate risks will naturally experience sharper insurance increases, but even less disaster-prone areas will see insurance premiums rise simply due to the fact that repairs have become more costly,” explained Joel Berner, senior economist at Realtor.com®.in a recent Realtor.com article.
“Labor and material costs continue to grow, which puts insurers in a position where they have to pay out more for full-replacement claims and therefore have to charge higher premiums, he continued.
Data from the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) shows that natural disasters have caused damages in excess of $1 trillion since 2017. As more severe and frequent storms hit the country, insurers are forced to raise rates to stay profitable.
Unfortunately, the pain is not spread evenly with some states seeing much higher increases than others. Obviously, states where severe weather or wildfires are more frequent will see bigger increases than states with lower risk factors.
According to the Realtor.com article, here are the projected average rates by state as well as the percentage increase homeowners can expect:

Louisiana is number two with an average annual rate of $10,964 in 2024 and Oklahoma grabs the third spot with an estimated annual average of $8,369 by the end of the year. Oklahoma is home to plenty of tornadoes, hail and wind events which can be almost as damaging as a hurricane.
The top 10 most expensive states for homeowners insurance in 2025 are:

| Florida | $15,460 | $1,320 |

When it comes to states where premiums are rising the fastest, Louisiana is king. Residents of the Pelican State saw an increase of 38% in 2024 pushing the average premium to $10,964 according to Insurify. The average could jump up to $13,937 by the end of the year.
Californians could see their rates head up by 21% to an average of $2,930 making it the state with the second largest percentage increase this year.
Iowa joins the party in the number third spot is with an average annual increase of 19% which will push up the average premium to $3,825 by the end of the year. Tornadoes, flooding and hailstorms are major drivers of the increases in the Hawkeye State.
All of the premium increases can hit homeowners pocketbooks hard, making homeownership less affordable
“Increases to home insurance premiums further complicate the math for prospective homeowners,” says Berner in the Realtor.com article. “Additional monthly costs mean buyers can afford less home. When buyers’ budgets shrink, they must either reduce the amount they spend on a home or forgo a new home purchase altogether.”
According to Insurify, homeowners in every state will see a rate increase which range from a low of 2% up to 27% for residents of Louisiana.
