Optimize Your Home Insurance Costs

Save hundreds on premiums while maintaining the coverage your valuable home deserves.

Stop Overpaying for Home Insurance

Most homeowners pay too much for inadequate coverage. PitiFi analyzes your current policy to find you better rates and proper protection.

The Insurance Component of Your PITI

Insurance is a crucial part of your monthly mortgage payment (PITI: Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance). Most homeowners don't realize they're overpaying by $300-$500 annually due to:

Inappropriate Coverage Levels

Many policies have outdated valuations or unnecessary riders.

Failure to Shop Competitively

Insurance companies count on your loyalty while gradually raising rates.

Missing Available Discounts

Most homeowners aren't aware of all eligible discounts.

Changes in Underwriting Criteria

Catastrophic events change policies for everyone, often resulting in silent premium increases and coverage limitations even for unaffected homes.

Insurance Impact on Your PITI Over Time

While your Principal and Interest payments remain fixed with a fixed-rate mortgage, Insurance costs typically rise over time, increasing your total monthly payment.

30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage

With a 30-year fixed mortgage, your principal and interest payments remain constant throughout the loan term. However, insurance costs typically increase 3-7% annually, with significant jumps following catastrophic events.

Impact: By year 10, many homeowners are paying 50-70% more for insurance than when they started their mortgage.

Notice the spikes: Insurance premiums jump dramatically after major catastrophes, regardless of whether your specific property was affected.

15-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage

A 15-year fixed mortgage has higher principal payments but shorter exposure to insurance rate volatility. Your P&I remains fixed, but you'll experience fewer years of compounding insurance increases.

Advantage: Lower lifetime exposure to insurance rate volatility, potentially saving thousands over the loan's lifetime.

Consider: By the time future catastrophic events occur (2031-2036), your 15-year mortgage would be nearly paid off, minimizing exposure to premium spikes.

7/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage

With a 7/1 ARM, both interest and insurance components can change after the initial fixed period. This creates a double exposure to rising costs in later years.

Caution: Insurance premium increases combined with interest rate adjustments can create significant payment shock after the initial 7-year period.

Highest risk: Note how the projected 2031 megastorm and 2036 fire season would coincide with your already-adjustable interest rate period, potentially creating dramatic payment increases.
