What can I expect to pay monthly for homeowners insurance?
Is there a way to know how much home insurance will cost? I'm a first time home buyer. I'm likely going to be buying a home for $149,000.

“Since you know the cost of the home you’ll be buying, you’ll want to reach out to
request quotes from home insurance companies
. Insurance companies use a number of factors to determine your rate, such as:
- location
- type of home
- type of coverage you require
- your credit history,
- your claims history
Most companies will allow you to request a home insurance quote online or you can speak with an agent directly.
When requesting quotes, they’ll require details about your home like:
- what materials it’s constructed out of
- its age
- if they’re any risks on the property like a trampoline or pool
From there, you’ll be able to get an estimate of what your insurance may cost.”
