What's covered in our insurability outlook

Our insurability outlook gives you a realistic preview of what to expect when shopping for homeowners insurance. We analyze the property, its location, and known risk factors to surface potential coverage concerns before you make an offer.

Estimated annual insurance premiums

We estimate what you can expect to pay annually for homeowners insurance based on the property's characteristics, location, and risk profile. This helps you budget beyond the mortgage payment and avoid surprises at closing.

Total replacement cost

The estimated cost to completely rebuild the home if it were destroyed. Insurance carriers use this number to determine your dwelling coverage limit. We calculate it using regional construction costs and the specific attributes of the property.

Natural and manmade hazard exposure

We assess exposure to hazards that directly affect your ability to get and keep coverage: wildfire, hail, hurricane, tornado, flood, sinkhole, earthquake, and crime. Each factor is graded so you can see at a glance which risks may lead to higher premiums, policy exclusions, or difficulty finding a carrier.

Flood zone and flood insurance guidance

We identify the property's FEMA flood zone designation and indicate whether flood insurance is likely required by your lender or recommended based on the location. Standard homeowners policies do not cover flood damage, so knowing this upfront can prevent a costly gap in coverage.

Replacement cost factors

The replacement cost estimate is built from a detailed set of property attributes that insurance carriers use in their own underwriting. We pull these from public records and assessor data:

State
Property Use
Year Built
Locale
Pool
Trampoline
Last Systems Upgrade
Square Feet
Architectural Style
Construction Type
Construction Quality
Physical Shape
Primary Exterior
Roof Type
Roof Covering

Our insurability outlook is based on publicly available data, risk models, and regional pricing. It is not a quote or policy offer. Actual premiums and coverage terms will vary by carrier.
