Home owners renewal >30% YoY

[sojourning_rupert]

So amazed to see USAA raise our homeowners policy 30% year over year with no claims or policy changes.  Stunned really is a better word for it.  How do we on a fixed income cope?  How can they impose this high a change in a single year?  Is next year going to be a 60% increase?!  Where else can I go?

Thank you @SOJOURNING_rupert for your USAA membership and allowing USAA to serve your insurance needs.  I certainly understand your concerns with your recent renewal increase, please know we truly appreciate your no claims on your home.  There is many factors that can impact a homeowners premium, past claims, claims trends in your geographical locations, inflationary factors, unfavorable weather conditions to litigations costs generally drive premiums upwards over time.  Have we had a chance to review your policy to identify what may have caused the increase on your renewal?  ~Marco

The agent said the 30% policy increase was due to a 20% increase in construction costs in our small rural area.

I feel you WRT the rate increases. I just got a renewal for a property in Florida, and, to my amazement, the Total Premium went down this year. But then I checked out the final total and out-of-pocket premium went UP. I just posted this experience. The explanation I got in the end was, effectively, "We filed with Florida for rate changes, which included reducing the value of your Windstorm Mitigation credits".
