Has the homeowners insurance improved any in the Biloxi area?

It is going up big time in south Alabama as well starting this year. Why, Alabama and Mississippi have not had a hurricane since Katrina so they have had years of profits to make up for that. They increased the deductibles to 10,000 on a 200k home last year and now the major insurers have all completely dropped wind damage coverage.
Allstate will sell you homeowners without it but you have to buy the wind through Geovera about 2,000 for just the wind damage not sure what the deductible will be yet.

So, if I'm looking at a possible promotional opportunity through my job, I guess Biloxi is not the place I want to consider?

Before you purchase insurance you sould do a little research on which insurance companies paid policy holders and which ones didn't pay after Katrina.

Doesn't matter the cost of insurance if they fight you when you need a claim paid.

I had a claim just last year on my home for storm damage and a new roof (about $8K), and my insurance this year on a home valued at 160K is about $4200 but there's some sort of "discount" tacked on so it's all of $2200 for the year. I live in Winona just south of hwy 82, which is pretty much dead smack in the upper 1/3 of the state.

I was wondering who are the best insurers for the area. We are looking to buy a home in the Palm Ridge Subdivision which is above I10, hopefully to the tune of now more than $170K. Currently we are with North Carolina Farm Bureau. Were there any issues with them after Katrina? Most of my family are with State Farm, but they were more expensive here. I am looking to also insure my cars with whichever company we decide to go with.

Default Homeowners insurance in Gulfport-Biloxi area

I was wondering whether or not insurance costs had leveled off any.
I've long wanted to move to the coastal area but these high insurance costs are a big factor to consider.
Looks like this would have a negative impact on property values & sales.

got a question about homeowners insurance, state farm's insurance for dwelling is the market value price, esurance's dwelling is about 1.6x more. The house did drop a lot since the sub-prime, esurance said if there is a need to replace the whole house, for their quote they will be able to replace it with all the current upgrades etc. but for state farm it will just be basic roof, kitchen etc (which isn't what I currently have) so who is correct? which one should I go with? 1.6x is a big difference and esurance is 10-15 dollar more a month
