Manufactured homes are becoming one of the hardest properties to insure right now—and it’s not just about age.
Here’s what’s really going on 👇
🏡 Older homes = fewer options
Many insurance companies won’t insure manufactured homes over 20 years old, even if they’re well maintained.
🔥 Wildfire risk is changing everything
In areas like Eastern Washington, wildfire scoring is causing even specialty companies to decline homes they used to insure.
📉 Fewer carriers in the market
Companies like Foremost Insurance Group and American Modern Insurance Group have tightened guidelines, leaving homeowners with limited choices.
🛠️ More underwriting hurdles
Things like roof age, foundation type, and even nearby vegetation can impact whether a home is approved.
⚠️ Result: More homeowners are being pushed to last-resort options
When standard companies say no, the Washington FAIR Plan is often the only path forward for coverage.
💡 What you can do:
Keep your home updated (especially roof & systems)
Maintain defensible space around your home
Work with an independent agent who can shop multiple markets
If you own a manufactured home and are worried about coverage—or have already been declined—reach out. There are options, but you need to know where to look.
