There’s a lot to insurance shopping—everything can be hard to remember, especially if you haven’t worried about it for a while!
While there’s no one-size-fits-all formula to determine your monthly home insurance costs, gathering quotes from providers and looking at average costs in your area can give you a general idea of what to expect.
For $250,000 in dwelling coverage, the national average cost of home insurance is between $1,200 and $1,600, per year or around $115-$130 per month.
Plenty of factors influence the cost of home insurance, including your
credit score
, where you live, the size and age of your home, and of course, the level of coverage you’re looking for.
