Buying a home in California today means thinking beyond the offer price—insurance matters more than ever.
Wildfire risk, rising rebuild costs, and insurer pullbacks have made homeowners insurance harder (and more expensive) to secure. The good news? Smart buyers can take steps that make a home more attractive to insurers and help lower long-term costs.
This post breaks down practical ways to reduce insurance risk—from home hardening and safety upgrades to using available discounts and backup options like the California FAIR Plan. To learn more about all of these possibilities, explore the full range of consumer insurance resources from the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® at https://www.car.org/knowledge/homeinsurance/consumers.
As a REALTOR®, I help motivated buyers look at insurance before they write an offer, so there are fewer surprises and a stronger transaction overall. If you want to buy with confidence in today’s market, let’s talk and make a plan.

Finding a home you love is hard enough—homeowners insurance shouldn’t be the deal-breaker.
If you’re buying in California and running into homeowners insurance roadblocks, the California FAIR Plan may be an option. It can help you meet lender requirements and protect your home when private insurers say no. However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Swipe through to learn what the California FAIR Plan covers, what it doesn’t, and how some buyers combine it with risk-reduction steps to create more complete coverage. You can also learn more about the FAIR Plan and find other insurance resources on the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATON OF REALTORS®’ insurance hub at https://www.car.org/knowledge/homeinsurance/consumers.
As a REALTOR®, I help my buyers think about insurance early in the process so there are no surprises during the transaction. If you’re navigating insurance challenges or want to plan ahead before making an offer, slip into my DMs! I’m always happy to help.
