You get what you pay for. If you are looking just at price, technically California Fair Plan is a good choice. It’s bare bones property coverage for dirt cheap. But…it’s designed for people who cannot get coverage anywhere else. It’s the strip-down, fire-only type coverage. It does not offer liability, and it is generally NOT replacement cost, so you could be shooting yourself in the foot trying to save a buck by underinsuring your house. Just ask those who’s homes were distroyed this year. I am sure a fair number of them are regretting looking at JUST the bottom line.
If you are looking for REAL coverage, ie: take care of your assets, look around and compare notes. How much are you trying to cover? Do you have discounts available (like non-smoker, over 65, multiple line, fire protection, or even job-related discounts like Farmers offers.)
Look in the phone book for agents and brokers in your neighborhood. Get several quotes for the EXACT same, or similar coverage. Then evaluate your options.
Skimping now could lead to REAL regret in the event of a catastrophic need. We had several people call in a panic during the wildfires and there was NOTHING I could do to help them then.
