🏡 Property Insurance Costs Are Rising in CT – Here's Why (and What You Can Do About It)

Have you noticed your insurance bill going up? You’re not alone — property insurance premiums are rising sharply across the country and especially here in Connecticut.

At Dumont Insurance Group, we’re seeing increases of 10–30% across many carriers for homeowners, landlord, and condo insurance. These are driven by real trends, and we want our Bristol community to understand what’s behind it:

📈 What’s Causing the Increases?

🔹 Severe Weather & Natural Disasters
From more frequent New England storms to wildfires and hurricanes nationwide, weather-related damage is rising — and insurers are paying out more in claims.

🔹 Inflation & Rebuilding Costs
Building materials, labor, and repairs are more expensive than ever. That means when homes are damaged, they cost more to fix — and premiums reflect that.

🔹 Reinsurance Costs
Insurers buy insurance too (it’s called reinsurance). As global disasters increase, those prices have surged — and the cost is passed down to policyholders.

🔹 Higher Claim Volume
Even day-to-day claims (water damage, aging roofs, etc.) are happening more frequently. Connecticut has had four straight years of rising claim activity.

💡 What Can You Do?

✅ Raise Your Deductible — Higher deductibles often mean lower premiums.
✅ Bundle Home + Auto — Multi-policy discounts can make a real difference.
✅ Ask About Discounts — Smoke alarms, smart-home features, good payment history, and more may all help lower your rate.

🏘️ We’re Your Local Insurance Advocate

We know it’s frustrating. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. At Dumont Insurance Group, we’re proud to serve Bristol and the surrounding communities — and as an independent agency, we’ll shop multiple carriers to help you find the best value for the protection you need.
