Oregon Home Insurance Tips And Information
You can also save money with these helpful tips.

*  Consider a higher deductible.  Increasing your deductible by just a few hundred dollars can make a big difference in your premium.

*  Ask your insurance agent about discounts.  You may be able to get a lower premium if your home has safety features such as dead-bolt locks, smoke detectors, an alarm system, storm shutters or fire retardant roofing material.  Persons over 55 years of age or long-term customers may also be offered discounts.

*  Insure your house, NOT the land under it.  After a disaster, the land is still there.  If you don’t subtract the value of the land when deciding how much homeowner’s insurance to buy, you will pay more than you should.

*  Don’t wait till you have a loss to find out if you have the right type and amount of insurance.

*  Make certain you purchase enough coverage to replace what is insured. “Replacement” coverage gives you the money to rebuild your home and replace its contents.  An “Actual Cash Value” policy is cheaper but pays only what your property is worth at the time of loss-your cost minus depreciation for age and wear.

*  Ask about special coverage you might need.  You may have to pay extra for computers, cameras, jewelry, art, antiques, musical instruments, stamp collections, etc.

*  Remember that flood and earthquake damage are not covered by a standard homeowners policy.  The cost of a separate earthquake policy will depend on the likelihood of earthquakes in your area. Homeowners who live in areas prone to flooding should take advantage of the National Flood Insurance Program.

Our mission is to help people find the right Oregon home insurance.  After you fill out the short quote request form, sit back and let the insurance quotes come to you.  Then all you have to do is choose the one that is right for you and your home.

Oregon Home Insurance
Oregon home insurance, also commonly called hazard insurance or homeowners insurance, is the type of property insurance that covers private homes. It is an insurance policy that combines various personal insurance protections, which can include losses occurring to one’s home, its contents, loss of its use (additional living expenses), or loss of other personal possessions of the homeowner, as well as liability insurance for accidents that may happen at the home. It requires that at least one of the named insured occupies the home. The dwelling policy (DP) is similar, but used for residences which don’t qualify for various reasons, such as vacancy/non-occupancy, seasonal/secondary residence, or age. It is a multiple line insurance, meaning that it includes both property and liability coverage, with an indivisible premium, meaning that a single premium is paid for all risks. Standard forms divide coverage into several categories, and the coverage provided is typically a percentage of Coverage A.  The insurance policy itself is a lengthy contract, and names what will and what will not be paid in the case of various events. Typically, claims due to floods, or war (whose definition typically includes a nuclear explosion from any source) are excluded.  Special insurance can be purchased for these possibilities, including flood insurance.  Insurance must be updated to the present and existing value at whatever inflation up or down, and an appraisal paid by the insurance company will be added on to the policy premium.  Fire insurance will require a special premium charge, plus the addition of smoke detectors and on site fire suppression systems to qualify.

The home insurance policy is usually a term contract—a contract that is in effect for a fixed period of time.  The payment the insured makes to the insurer is called the premium.  The insured must pay the insurer the premium each term. Most insurers charge a lower premium if it appears less likely the home will be damaged or destroyed: for example, if the house is situated next to a fire station, if the house is equipped with fire sprinklers and fire alarms.  Perpetual insurance, which is a type of home insurance without a fixed term, can also be obtained in certain areas.

In the United States, most home buyers borrow money in the form of a mortgage loan, and the mortgage lender always requires that the buyer purchase homeowners insurance as a condition of the loan, in order to protect the bank if the home were to be destroyed. Anyone with an insurable interest in the property should be listed on the policy.  In some cases the mortgagee will waive the need for the mortgagor to carry homeowner’s insurance if the value of the land exceeds the amount of the mortgage balance.  In a case like this even the total destruction of any buildings would not affect the ability of the lender to be able to foreclose and recover the full amount of the loan.
