\"July<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you ever looked at your home or renters insurance and wondered what it meant when the deductible said 1%?\u00a0 Well we\u2019re here to tell you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While your auto insurance might list a deductible of $500 or $1000, your home insurance typically shows a percentage based deductible.\u00a0 The percentage is based on the total amount of coverage on your home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So if your home is insured for $200,000, then you would have a $2000 deductible in the event of a claim.\u00a0 (This is the amount you would be responsible for paying before the insurance kicks in.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If your home is insured for $500,000, then you would have a $5000 deductible.\u00a0 Big difference!\u00a0 But they both would be listed as 1%.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Often there are many different deducible options available, but many mortgage lenders will require that you choose a 1% or lower in order to keep the repair cost manageable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you choose a much lower deductible like $1000 (if it\u2019s available, not all policies offer these<\/em>), you would pay a much higher annual premium for the coverage because you\u2019d have less out of pocket after a loss.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Deductibles can be complicated!\u00a0 But it\u2019s important to know what you have and have that amount available in your emergency savings in case of a major claim.\u00a0 If you\u2019re unsure how to read your policy or want to know other deductible options, give us a call today and we\u2019ll be happy to help!<\/p>\n
