The North Dakota housing market is going through a major crunch. This has contributed to the rise of mobile home communities in the state. This type of dwelling is more affordable to purchase than traditional homes, which makes it a cheap alternative for families who cannot afford to buy the traditional properties. If you just purchased a mobile home, it is important to secure it with a mobile home insurance policy. This one works differently than traditional homeowners insurance so make sure you take the time to learn about how it works and how to choose the right policy.
In the past few years, the number of mobile homes in North Dakota has increased significantly. Since the 1990s, the mobile housing market comprises about 90% of the affordable housing options in the state.
Mobile homeowners make up 9% of the state's overall home ownership statistic. Experts predict that this number will increase in the coming years.
Of these mobile homeowners, 74% live in a private land; the rest of them live in mobile home communities or parks.
While mobile homeowners are not required by the state to buy insurance, those who are still paying mortgage for their mobile homes are required by lenders. Until you pay off your loan, the lenders have ownership of your mobile home. Buying insurance is one of the ways that they can protect the property from damage or any associated costs.
Mobile homes require a different kind of protection from traditional homes because the former is at a higher risk of damage. This is why this is considered a niche as insurance companies evaluate a unique set of factors to determine the average cost of the policy.
A traditional mobile home insurance policy includes protection against damage to the mobile home, for causes such as natural disasters and flooding. The older the mobile home is, the more prone it is to damage. At the same time, they also evaluate the level of risk present within the location. For example, if the location of the mobile home is known to have higher rates of crime such as theft or break-ins.
Depending on the prevailing risks, you should get covered with your insurance provider accordingly. The best coverage must provide protection against property damage, personal liability, and contents coverage (for any valuable items in your mobile home).
If you are looking for a cheap mobile home insurance policy in North Dakota, you need to gather quotes from various insurance companies. Do note that the quotes might vary from one company to another. This is because every company takes into account different factors that determine your insurance rates.
When considering which policy to buy, you need to understand and assess your needs. How much protection do you want for your mobile home? You need to assess the existing risks within your community and the prevalence of weather disturbances. This is how you can guarantee you have the best policy that is cheap and gives you adequate protection.
