Wonder what those land values will be once people realize there is no chance of rebuilding there? Land that you can't do anything with/to would drastically lose value, I would think.

That's dirt cheap.

Are you broke?


Thinking a 5400 policy is expensive equals im broke?

Are you always a moron?

Most policies are 2500 max in CA unless its a 20mil property

For a multi million dollar home, yes

That’s less per month than my truck payment

On a multi million dollar house it’s an absurdly cheap insurance premium.

I say that without giving more than two seconds thought to it.

They will rebuild. All of the super liberal housing nonsense is about to be exposed for the fantasy thinking it always was.

Kind of a flawed way of analyzing it when so much of the value of the property is from the land value.


Replacement cost in one of the highest cost of living areas in the country is still going to be high. I would imagine most of those premiums don’t have riders for building code upgrades or disaster increases, probably also exclude earthquakes

There's a 100% chance you misunderstood whatever was said.

That’s really the crazy part. Your land could be worth 50 mil before the fire and (close to) 0 after.

Can I buy a policy from the FAIR Plan that will cover the replacement cost value of my home? That depends on the replacement cost value of your home. Until recently, the FAIR Plan would only insure you for $1.5 million total, including your dwelling, contents and all other coverages. However, starting in the spring of 2020, that maximum increased to $3 million.

The above statement is 100% false

How could CA law prevent homes over $3m to be insured?

Listen to the statement in the link I provided and read the fair act I posted. It’s not saying they can’t be insured but the limited payout is $3M. You have a $20M home with total loss but most you can get is $3M.

It’s pretty clear welcome to blue state laws.

ETA Olympic medalist who lost his home said Allstate dropped him and he couldn’t get insurance anywhere.

Move to Louisiana and insure a 3 to 8 million dollar property and find out how cheap that is.....

Most upper middle class folks here pay nearly that for less than a 1 million home.I know I do.

First of all, that’s the state plan. 2ndly, that reads as $3 mil dwelling. Which would be a hell of a lot, as said over and over, because a huge portion of these homes have most of the value in the land. So a $3 mil dwelling is likely a $10 mil+ home. Which would be 90% of the homes here.

If your home is over $10 mil, you likely have insurance means above and beyond the general public. When you are talking $50k+ annual premiums insurance will get creative to help you out.

It is if you compare it to what the value of the home is.. I pay $3500 a year in little ole Watson, LA and I’m sure their home values in Palisades dwarfs mine.

Try building back, half the insurance companies had already pulled out.

This will end up being some type government ran insurance which in California will work like everything else.

The people who will rebuild will be able to afford to insure themselves

Some talking head mentioned that CA had installed price controls on insurance (specifically fire) and many policies no longer covered fire. People could still get theft or storm damage but not fire.

Is that part of this situation? It would be like people on the gulf coast having insurance that covered everything but hurricane damage.

The price controls have been discussed ad nauseam.

The insurers that were writing property coverage went to the DOI and tried to file massive rate increases to accommodate for the risk (and to stay profitable). The DOI didn’t allow it.

I’m not an expert, but i thought fire is the main covered peril of homeowners or similar property coverage (i think it used to be called fire insurance). It would be odd that people are purchasing insurance (especially in these areas) without fire coverage.
