Even if you're not directly waterfront, you might still be in a FEMA-designated flood zone. About 25% of flood insurance claims come from moderate-to-low-risk areas. Heavy rainfall, storm surge, and overwhelmed drainage systems can cause flooding blocks away from the river. Check the updated 2025 FEMA flood maps for your specific address, and if you have a mortgage, your lender will tell you if flood insurance is required.
Flood insurance costs vary widely based on your specific flood zone, your home's elevation, and your coverage amount. High-risk V-zones along the coast cost more than moderate-risk areas. Most policies are purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), though private flood insurance options have expanded. Get quotes from both to compare, as private policies sometimes offer better rates or coverage for properties in lower-risk zones.
It depends on what type of damage occurs. Wind damage from a nor'easter—like a tree falling on your roof or shingles being torn off—is typically covered by your standard homeowners policy. However, flooding caused by storm surge or heavy rain is not covered and requires separate flood insurance. This distinction is crucial because nor'easters often cause both types of damage, and you need both policies to be fully protected.
Yes, older homes often cost more to insure because aging systems like electrical, plumbing, and heating are more likely to fail. Insurers may require inspections or proof of updates before offering coverage. The good news is that upgrading these systems can sometimes qualify you for discounts that offset the higher base rate. Some insurers specialize in older homes and may offer better rates than others, so shop around.
Once your mortgage is paid off, you're not legally required to carry flood insurance—but dropping it is financially risky if you're in a flood-prone area. One major flood event could cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands to repair, and you'd be paying all of it out of pocket. Federal disaster assistance, if available, typically comes as loans that must be repaid, not grants. Most financial advisors recommend keeping flood insurance even after your mortgage ends.
Bundling typically saves 15-25% on your combined premiums, making it one of the easiest ways to reduce costs. However, don't assume bundling is always cheapest—sometimes using separate companies for home and auto results in lower total costs. Get quotes both ways. Also consider other discounts like security systems, being claims-free, or loyalty discounts if you've been with the same insurer for several years.
