With the Los Angeles fires in January and last week’s severe storms that brought flooding and tornadoes to the Midwest, extreme weather is already battering US homes in 2025. Homeowners should expect their insurance rates to jump accordingly, says Insurify, an insurance policy comparison website, in a new report.

The steep tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump will likely worsen the pain.

The average annual cost of home insurance will increase 8% nationally by the end of the year to $3,520 for a home worth $400,000, Insurify projects. Some states, including Louisiana, Iowa and Minnesota, will see double-digit increases.
