California housing owners, which have already been devastated last month, can see that their insurance interest rates will rise by more than 20 % if they are covered on state farms.
State farms, the largest private insurance company in California, are seeking a 22 % average rate from housing owners. In a letter by the California Insurance (CDI) to “approve immediately,” the state farm stated that hiking would help “avoid miserable situations.”

Insurance companies are trying to raise 22 % for non -tenant housing owners, 15 % for lessee and condominium owners, and 38 % in rental housing. In a public letter to the CDI, the state farm states that the rise in rates will come into effect on May 1, 2025.
“As of February 1st, the state farm general (fire only) has received more than 8,700 claims and has already paid more than $ 1 billion customers,” said the insurance company press release. I am writing. “State farm generals will eventually pay a lot, because these fires will be the most expensive disaster in the history of the State Farm.”

Will Hurricane and Sprinkle Fire increase insurance prices nationwide?
Insurance companies have added that they must raise their current rates so that they can pay the possible future requests. In addition, the state farm has announced that the price of Californians will rise due to the high risk of the Golden State.
“I am looking forward to cooperating with regulatory authorities, policy creators, and industry leaders working on the creation of sustainable insurance environments in California. Risk and rate rise, long -term stability, and long -term market stability. I am looking forward to maintaining an insurance company like a state farm in the future of California.
The state farm was rejected at the height of the mountain fire, in March 2024, which would cancel the compensation of policies for 72,000 homes and apartments in summer. In March 2024, the insurance company issued a letter to the CDI and said that the depletion of the capital of the state farm was “a warning that indicates the need for a quick and transformed grave.”

State farms and other insurance companies have blamed them to reduce the compensation range.
Insurers can get a greater increase in approval, but the state farms have increased by 20 % of houses and car insurance premiums in January 2024, and then 30 housing policies last summer. I demanded an increase in %, but this process takes time and size. Rising fees approved by regulators may not be enough for insurance companies to continue to provide policies while maintaining financial stability.
In January 2025, the mountain fire was emphasized only on California's continuous saving crisis, and some providers have already escaped from the state, stopped creating new insurance, and reduced risk exposure in the Golden State. I did. This includes Allstate, nationwide and farmers.
