Count yourself lucky. My parents said theirs went up in LA more than 100%. One of the big reasons they are almost out for good.

Louisiana sure is expensive for being so shitty.

I am leaving the state next year because of this. I can't afford another increase. It's making my mortgage unaffordable.

Hell there are threads on how to defraud FEMA to get a chainsaw or generator then return it for "free" cash.




I pulled up to the Harbor Freight in Gonzales a few weeks after Ida and it took me a minute to figure out why there was a pile of people bringing back NIB generators. First I thought they bought them before the storm "just in case" but that didn't make sense there would be so many. Then it dawned on me. Pathetic.

So who's going to buy the house that you won't be able to afford?

That's where the problem gets worse--no one else is going to want your house because it's too expensive to insure.

Over the years I've learned that some of these companies will push you out via high rates. They won't send you an email to tell you you're uninsurable or they no longer have interest in insuring you. Nah, they'll HIKE and HIKE and HIKE prices on a hope and a prayer you'll actually pay the ridiculous rates. If you refuse and leave? No skin off their back, they wanted you gone anyway.

Would anyone mind sharing their city and the precent they are paying in insurance compared to the cost of their house? We are considering a move for work and are beginning to look at options.

Currently paying 1.2% of the value of our home in yearly premiums and we have a high deductible. New Orleans of course

My renewal was a 324% increase. I’ve been with the same company for 15 years with no losses.

Insurance companies are overvaluing property values to manufacture premiums to cover past hurricane losses. After having the company reclassify my home to custom and raising my deductible I was able to get it to a 60% increase.

lowered some coverage amounts where my agent said I was overinsured vs. the average, so the big increase became no increase.

But you got less for the money. I really hate that the only real option to lower your rate is to lower your coverages. So you got nothing but screwed. INS COs are a-hole.
