Homeowners insurance for a $400,000 home averages $3,439 a year, but what you actually pay will vary depending on where you live. Insurers price in the risk of hurricanes, wildfires, and other disasters in your area, which makes location the biggest factor in what you pay.

That same risk explains why rates have moved in opposite directions. Florida’s average rate has more than doubled since 2022, while Mississippi’s has dropped over the same period.

Your insurer matters too. State Farm has the lowest average rate among the major insurers, but the cheapest company for one home isn’t always the cheapest for the next, so comparing quotes every year keeps you from overpaying.

The five most expensive states for $400,000 home insurance

Florida is the most expensive state to insure a $400,000 home, at $11,161 a year, followed by Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. All five rank high for the same reason, which is heavy exposure to severe weather like hurricanes, tornadoes, hail, and wildfires that drives up the cost of rebuilding.

The five cheapest states for $400,000 home insurance

The states in the table below cost less to insure because they face less risk from natural disasters and theft, which means insurers expect to pay fewer claims there.

How have $400,000 home insurance rates changed over time?

Homeowners insurance premiums rose in every state from 2025 to 2026, after dropping in most states the year before. Florida and Louisiana are the only states where premiums climbed every year, and Florida’s 2026 average premium is more than double what it was in 2022.

After Florida, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska have the highest average premiums in 2026, each above $6,700 a year. Homeowners in Mississippi, Arkansas, Pennsylvania and Vermont pay lower premiums now than they did in 2022.

The table below shows the average annual premium for a $400,000 home in each state for 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026.

Which companies offer the best rates for a 400,000 home?

The table below shows each company’s average annual premium for a $400,000 home in every state.

What property features affect home insurance rates?

Any property feature that makes your home riskier or more expensive to insure can raise your rates. Here’s what matters most:

• Location. Homes in areas prone to fire, flooding, or other environmental risks typically see higher rates.
• Home age. Older homes tend to cost more to insure. “Older homes typically have higher insurance premiums because their electrical, plumbing, and roofing systems are often older, increasing the likelihood of insurance claims,” says Zhaneta Gechev, owner of One Stop Life Insurance in Las Vegas.
• Home size and renovations. A larger home means more area to cover, and upgrades can push your rate up further. “Renovations, such as new flooring or a modernized kitchen, can increase the home’s replacement cost and, consequently, the insurance premium,” Gechev says.
• Risk factors on your property. Features like fireplaces or pets can raise your rates. “You’ll likely pay higher rates if you have a fireplace,” says Melanie Musson, an insurance expert with InsuranceProviders.com. “If you have a dog, you may pay higher rates because there’s a higher chance you’ll need to file a liability claim.”
• Security features. Adding protective measures can help lower your rate. “Many carriers offer discounts for homes monitored by a security company, as this reduces the risk of losses from break-ins,” Gechev says.

At the end of the day, home value drives a lot of this. “If you have a $700,000 house, your insurance will be more expensive than if you have a $300,000 home,” says Musson.

“If your house is destroyed, your insurance provider will be responsible for the cost of rebuilding. Since rebuilding a $300,000 house costs less than a $700,000 one, you pay lower rates for the cheaper house.”
