Insurance costs edge higher for Florida homeowners and condo owners
Briefly

Homeowner insurance costs in Florida rose again in the first quarter of 2025, with average premiums increasing by 0.3% for single-family homes and 0.8% for condos. This follows a temporary decline in late 2024. Since 2022 reforms aimed at reducing litigation costs, average premiums have surged over 30%. Experts attribute the increases to inflation in construction costs, despite comparisons showing Florida's hikes are lower than in other hurricane-dominated states. Industry responses indicate a mixed outlook, emphasizing the need for ongoing market improvements.
