Our HOA found another insurance company but of course it’s costing us more so here came the assessment already.
That's what I tell folks when they are thinking of leaving NJ for say Florida. Wait until they get that property insurance quote. Its rising. The way climate change is going, there will be a point where some regions are just going to be expensive as hell to insure. The savings might not be that dramatic. Factor in also the generally much lower pay for jobs out in some of those regions and poorer quality of education. Sometimes the grass ain't that much greener!
