In Missouri, there are more people opting to buy and live in a mobile home. The reason for doing so will vary significantly - whether you want to have the freedom to move your home to a different location or you need a cheaper home. Whatever your reason for investing in this type of housing, don't forget to protect it with mobile home insurance.
Just like traditional homeowners insurance, mobile home insurance is designed to protect your home from damage or personal liability. This type of home might be cheap but it can still cost you a lot of money to repair and replace them. It is one step you can take to protect your home and any other personal property contained in it.
Since the 1990s, mobile homes have exploded in popularity in Missouri. In fact, it was significant in the growth of the housing market in the state during the 90s. While the cost of buying one is only a fraction of a traditional home, you must take measures to protect your investment.
A customized mobile home insurance policy will do just that. But how?
Mobile homes are at a higher risk of damage due to natural disasters such as storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. They are not built on-site because they are valued for their mobility. But this can also make it at risk of damage when there are strong winds and rain.
For this reason, insurance companies will charge higher premium rates for this type of insurance (versus a traditional policy).
When you shop around and compare various quotes online, you will soon realize that there are numerous factors that can cause your insurance rates to go up or down. The location of your mobile home is one of the primary factors - because it directly impacts the chances of suffering from harsh weather conditions or depending on the crime rate for that location.
Aside from the location, an insurance company will also evaluate the age of the home. The older the mobile home is, the more it is at risk for damage. The value of the mobile home is also another factor that will be evaluated. The insurance provider will increase your rates to cover for the actual value of the home in the event of any natural disasters that cause extreme damage.
Finally, the cost of your insurance will be determined by the type of coverage that you had specified. This will be based on your needs and the level of protection you want to get for your mobile home.
The insurance company will carefully evaluate these factors to assess the entailing risks for your mobile home. To get the best cheap policy, you should gather as many quotes as you can.
In Missouri, the average cost of mobile home insurance can be as cheap as $250 to as high as $1300 annually. It is important that you take into account the factors mentioned above when shopping around so you have a realistic expectation of the actual cost of coverage.
