While insurance carriers in storm‑heavy areas (Midwest, South, Plains) were the first to adopt higher or percentage-based wind and hail deductibles, multiple sources show the trend started regionally and is now entrenched across the U.S. continuing to expand as severe weather spreads to new areas.This option lowers premiums but the insured will be out of pocket more if a loss occurs.

Not all second homes are treated the same. Whether a property is used primarily for personal enjoyment, short-term vacation use, or as a rental investment can affect financing options, tax treatment, and deductible expenses. Understanding those differences before buying can help homeowners make smarter long-term decisions. If you'd like to explore your options, I'd be happy to help.

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that market value and assessed value are not the same thing. Market value is what a buyer may be willing to pay based on current demand, recent sales, condition, location, and competition. Assessed value is used by the local taxing authority to help calculate property taxes and may follow different rules, timelines, exemptions, or limits. That is why your tax assessment may be higher or lower than what your home could actually sell for. If you are wondering what your home may be worth in today's market, contact me. I can help you look at the real estate side of the numbers.
