Cheaper Price, Better Coverage: Michigan Homeowners Insurance

Unless you feel a sense of safety, peace and comfort when you think about your house, condominium or apartment, it will not truly feel like home. Homeowners insurance gives you the reassurance you need to rest easy, whether you are at home or away.

499,000 structure fires damaged or destroyed buildings across the United States in 2018.
Structures sustained $11.1 billion in property damage in the United States in 2018 – a 3.7 percent increase from 2017.

When many people think about homeowners insurance, the image that comes to mind is coverage that addresses the structural aspects of the home. While this is partly true, it does not tell the entire story.

Living Up To Byron Center & Kentwood Mortgage Lender Expectations

The state of Michigan does not legally require residents to carry homeowners insurance, but the vast majority of (reputable) mortgage lenders do. After all, they want to make sure their investment is protected and they will not lose money on it.

To that end, below we outline the types of coverage – and what they include – that most mortgage lenders consider necessary for loan approval:

Dwelling – Covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding the physical structure of your home after an applicable peril
Personal property – Helps you replace personal items in your home that are not built-in or attached to the home
Liability – Gives you protection if someone sues you after getting injured in your home or you damage someone else’s property
Guest medical coverage – Pays medical expenses if someone injuries themselves on your property

Going Beyond The Byron Center, Michigan Basics

You may want to consider adding certain types of coverage that, while not required by mortgage lenders, offer you an additional layer of critical protection. This coverage could mean the difference between financial stability and a financial mess.

When it comes to optional coverage quotes, it is really up to you which types you choose. Generally speaking, however, loss of use coverage is highly recommended for every homeowner. If you experience a covered loss and you are unable to live in your home while it is being repaired, loss of use helps cover additional living expenses.

Other types of optional insurance, and the items they cover, include:

Business property coverage – Business-related items
Scheduled personal property coverage – Valuable appraised items
Musical instruments coverage – Instruments kept in your home
Sports equipment coverage – High-ticket sports equipment you keep at home
Electronic data recovery coverage – The cost of recovering lost personal data
Identity theft restoration coverage – Legal fees for identity theft restitution
Yard and garden coverage – Landscaping, trees and the equipment required to maintain them
Water back-up coverage – The cost of fixing water damage
