Gulf Coast Home Insurance Rates (Houston: homes, live in, mold)

[Hoss]

Have Home insurance rates increased dramatically for homes on the gulf coast of texas, like they have in Florida, which is so high now, due to the hurricanes, that lots of homeowners can no longer afford insurance.

I don't know about others, but ours only went up a few dollars. Of course, it went up a lot in the past few years because of the mold insurance coverage. Now we pay more, but with no mold insurance. but the storms don't seem to have caused an increase at least in our house. We live in mid-city Houston.

Ours only went up a tiny bit as well but I know some areas of Houston had theirs raise considerably because of re-evaluated flood zones.
