flag Despite fewer disasters, U.S. home insurance premiums are set to rise 3%–8% in 2026, especially in the Midwest, due to rising costs and risks.

flag In 2025, the U.S. saw fewer major natural disasters than in recent years, but home insurance premiums are still expected to rise 3% to 8% nationwide in 2026, with the largest increases in Midwestern states hit by severe storms. flag Florida saw rate drops for many homeowners as private insurers returned and the state’s insurer of last resort lowered premiums. flag Despite a quieter year, rising rebuilding costs, climate change, population growth in high-risk areas, and high reinsurance prices continue to drive up insurance costs. flag The national average premium is about $2,400 annually, and roughly 14% of homes remain uninsured due to affordability concerns. flag Experts say sustained rate decreases are unlikely without several more years of low disaster activity.
