Consumer Reports Identifies Strategies to Lower Homeowners Insurance Costs Amid Rising Premiums

Consumer Reports has highlighted several strategies for homeowners to reduce their insurance costs, which have risen by an average of 24% over the past three years due to weather-related losses and inflation. Key recommendations include shopping around for better rates, bundling homeowners and auto insurance for potential savings of up to 30%, and opting for higher deductibles to lower premiums. Homeowners can also reduce costs by making home repairs and upgrades, such as replacing old roofs and plumbing, adding security systems, and installing leak detectors. Lifestyle choices, such as owning certain dog breeds or having pools and trampolines, can affect insurance rates due to liability risks. Additionally, maintaining good credit can help lower premiums, as poor credit may result in higher costs.

Both products can be combined with the state's down payment assistance program, which provides a low-interest loan for down payments. In 2025, 33 state-approved lenders facilitated almost $300 million in home purchases through this program, with significant participation from people of color, veterans, and rural residents.
