Understanding home insurance

blue_housePurchasing your home is probably the biggest purchase you will make in your lifetime. According to some, July, August, December, and early January are the best months to buy a home because prices are lower, and people are on vacation or enjoying the holiday’s. This means fewer buyers to compete with. While this is a very exciting time in a person’s life, it can also be very stressful. Understanding home insurance can help you protect your largest personal asset.


The Insurance Information Institute has written some information that discusses the basics of homeowners and renters insurance. Topics include:

•    What is homeowners insurance;
•    What is covered by a standard homeowners policy;
•    What types of disasters are covered by homeowners insurance; and
•    The importance of a home inventory
