That number could vastly differ for a number of reasons. Just being in Ascension parish is not gonna make all the insurance premiums the same.

Yea...I thought about that after. Living sq foot is around 1600. House was built in 2006. Fire station is close by. Fire hydrant is near by. What are some other deciding factors. Just trying to figure out if an ~$2000 yearly quote for Home and Flood is a good price

Depends on value of home, year built, and credit.

Good credit is very important. Homeowners will range between $800 (new construction, <$200k, good credit) and $2500 (bad credit, old home), with most being around the $1400 area.

Preferred flood is $365/yr, and zones AE and A depend on elevation. $300 - $1600/year.

SO FROM $1100-TO $4100 plus or minus 10% cash to agent.

Everyone pays the same for flood. It is based on risk, but if you get it through NFIP (everyone does) the rates are the same. It is based on the ABFE of your area and how your house compares. If you are above it, your risk is minimal and you coould pay between $300-$400 a year, any real difference between agents is commission, everyone pays the same. Also, if you are below the ABFE, then your risk goes up. The lower you are, the higher the risk. Only way to tell is from an elevation cert. If you need one call Jimmy Little in FrencH Settlement, really good guy.

Homeowner's varies by companies and perils and could vary widely. Depending on deductibles, coverages, riders, etc. It is very hard to compare unless you get a quote from multiple agents.

Some companies are going to give you problems with a new policy now while we are still under a disaster declaration. Also, once their storm losses are calculated, they may pull out of the LA all together.

Homeowners should be researched, the same as mortgage companies, car dealers, etc. It is a significant amount of money, and with escrowing, most people don't worry about their insurance until they have a claim. Take a day to get some quotes. It is worth it.
