What Is Homeowners Insurance & Why You Need It in Bloomington

Homeowners insurance gives you money to rebuild your house, replace what’s inside, and cover legal or medical bills if someone is hurt on your property.

It’s not required by Minnesota law if you own your home outright. But if you have a mortgage, your lender will require a policy while you’re paying on the loan. And even if it’s not required, going without it means you’re on the hook for everything if something unexpected happens.

Here’s what home insurance typically pays for:

• Dwelling Coverage – damage to the structure of your home
• Other Structures – garages, sheds, fences
• Personal Property Coverage – furniture, electronics, clothes
• Liability Protection – if someone sues you after getting hurt
• Loss of Use (ALE) – temporary living costs if your home is uninhabitable

We can also help add things some people forget, like scheduled personal property insurance for jewelry or fine art.

Average Homeowners Insurance Costs in Bloomington

People ask, “What should I expect to pay?”

In Bloomington, homeowners insurance averages around $2,300–$2,600 per year for a typical home size and coverage levels. That’s about $190–$220 per month.

Your cost will depend on:

• Value of your home
• Coverage limits you choose
• Your deductible
• Age & condition of property
• Claims history
• Safety features like alarms, storm protection

We help you balance price with real coverage — you don’t want to underinsure and find out after a fire or storm that your payout doesn’t cover rebuilding.

What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover (Real-World Examples)

Here are common situations where the right policy protects you:

Fire or Smoke Damage

Fire damage can be devastating. Without coverage, you’re paying out of pocket to rebuild and replace stuff.

Storm & Hail Damage

Minnesota gets its share of stormy weather. A standard policy often covers:

• Hail damage to siding or roofing
• Wind damage to structures or fences
• Broken windows after a storm

If you live near Bush Lake Beach or Normandale Lake, and heavy storms hit your area, this matters.

Theft & Vandalism

If someone breaks in and steals your belongings, your policy helps pay to replace them.

Frozen Pipes & Water Damage

Cold Minnesota winters can burst pipes. Many policies cover water damage from sudden pipe breaks.

Note: Some things like flood damage are NOT included in a standard homeowners policy. You may need a separate flood insurance plan.

Common Mistakes Homeowners Make

Picking the Cheapest Policy

Won’t help if your coverage doesn’t pay enough after a loss. People often think low price = good deal, until they have a claim.

Forgetting to Schedule Valuable Items

Jewelry, collections, and electronics may have low limits in basic plans. Scheduled coverage ensures they’re properly insured.

Not Updating After Renovations

Finished basements or major upgrades change your rebuild cost. You need coverage that keeps up.

Assuming Flood Is Covered

Standard homeowners insurance typically excludes flood damage. Ask us about flood insurance.
