State Farm homeowner insurance rates to skyrocket in California

State Farm home insurance customers whose policies are renewed, will soon pay a higher premium after California's Department of Insurance approved a rate increase. Rates will go up for other insurance providers as well.

I don`t think the competition is stupid enough to come back.

I can't believe it that me making 120k a year isn't enough for me to own a single home in CA.

If State Farm needs money, why are they running so many commercials during NFL games? Every single commercial break feels like they show a State Farm commercial. PG&E. Home insurance. Car insurance. What a mess.

after walking this earth for 50 years I can tell you one thing, never buy property insurance from a carrier that advertises heavily. That tells you where they spent the money.

And they call themselves a good neighbor LOL.

You don't want it anyway. It doesn't do any good whatsoever. I had a line back up in my basement right after I purchased my home, and my agent authorized the repair through a local plumbing company while telling me to keep my receipt and State Farm will take care of it. Nope. I tried to file a claim and State Farm covered NOTHING. They told me that after looking at my policy deeper, I wasn't eligible to use part of the $19K that my policy clearly states that I can use toward this kind of problem. By far one of the worst experiences I've had with any insurance company. Never trust a company that can afford to purchase half of an NFL team to appear in their commercials. That's where their money goes, not toward legitimate claims.

Property crime… auto theft…etc. Gavin Newsome…. Too worried about gender neutral toy sections in Walmart to care about anything else.

Democrat Utopia…. Insurance Commissioner is probably getting kick backs, campaign donations, and family gifts…..
