In the East Valley, from the tech hubs of Chandler to the scenic foothills of Ahwatukee, buying a home is a major milestone. But as Kip Wilkins often reminds his clients, the purchase is just the beginning. Protecting that investment starts with understanding your homeowner's insurance.
According to NerdWallet, your policy acts as a safety net by:
In Chandler and Ahwatukee, we aren't just seeing beautiful new developments; we're seeing higher premiums. The Insurance Research Council (IRC) attributes this to more frequent severe weather and a sharp rise in construction labor and material costs.
The Good News: While premiums rose by 14% in 2024, they are expected to grow by only about 8% in 2026. Plus, as mortgage rates ease, it’s becoming easier to balance your monthly budget.
