Off-topic slightly but tied in with hail, but an alleged vague “storm” is causing huge issues for DFW home insurance. If you live in DFW and haven’t gotten home insurance renewal, expect to fall to the floor with increases since last fall. Mine they wanted to increase $1500. Caused escrow shortage. Shopped around but many now want a 2 percent minimum deductible or aren’t serving DFW at all anymore due to “storm risks” as if we haven’t always had storms. I found one cheaper policy with a 1 percent deductible I went with, but not much cheaper than the renewal. Just awful.
I felt it too, sticker shock. I've mentioned over and over as a homeowner these hail storms are becoming expensive, as a whole for everyone. It is one thing to have one or two every few years roll through the core urban metros. But multiple in the same season, over the same areas assesses a different kind of risk for insurance.
Covering a few mil in Coleman isn't the same as a similar coverage area in DFW for a bil+ $.
It has definitely been a rough year for hail across the US. Florida the past few days have experienced some of their worst hailstorms.
That stinks, glad we're only 2 months from our house being completed and moving from Dallas to near Albany Texas out in Shackelford County. Cheaper car and house insurance here we come!!
