Market Spotlight: Homeowners

A day after Hurricane Ian hit Florida as a Category 4 storm Sept. 28, AM Best released its scheduled market segment report of the U.S. homeowners insurance market, calling it stable due to overall strong risk-adjusted capitalization, underwriting discipline, and technology use. The financial strength rating agency for the industry said catastrophes remain the primary driver of volatility in the homeowners line and results this year "may be impacted by the latest hurricanes, which could pressure the segment." But aside from this recent event, homeowners insurers have generated operating profits three of the last five years. Though the line of business dealt with another above-average year for catastrophes in 2021 - including events such as Hurricane Ida, Texas winter freeze, tornadoes, and wildfires - the segment's combined ratio improved by nearly four points thanks to growth in net premiums. Technology remains a differentiator among insurers as lower-cost, third-party data become more available to help in pricing risk, adjust claims, and market products. AM Best said it "expects partnerships among established insurers and insurtechs to grow."
