Can one purchase high deductible insurance - like 5% or 10%? (We would not have a mortgage.)

.

A lot depends on the age of your house ,if it is fairly new and not in a high velocity zone it will be anywhere from $1,000 to $1,600 and yes you can get a high deductible policy which will lower the cost . I live in the worst velocity zone and have a real high deductible and my insurance actually went down this year to $ 1,600. My house is valued at $600,000 but most of the value is in the land .
