Homeowners insurance

Also known as: home insurance, hazard insurance

Insurance that helps cover damage to your home and related liability; often required by lenders.

Homeowners insurance protects against covered damage to the home and related risks. Lenders typically require it when you have a mortgage. Monthly amounts in calculators are often based on state averages and home price-they are estimates, not insurer quotes. Actual premiums depend on location, coverage, deductibles, and the property itself.
