When it comes to homeowners insurance, rising premiums aren’t the only thing to keep an eye on.

New national data show insurance companies are increasingly choosing not to renew some homeowners policies as they reassess risks from severe weather, rising claims and higher rebuilding costs.

For homeowners, it’s another reminder to pay attention to renewal notices, understand your coverage and stay in touch with your agent. If you receive a non-renewal notice, don’t wait until your policy expires to start looking at your options.

Rising costs are only one part of what the data reveal.

If your renewal is coming up, this is another good reason to review your coverage and see what options are available.
