My New Home Purchase

WHEN DO I BUY HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE?

Once you have a specific home in mind, it is never too early to start shopping for homeowners insurance. There are a variety of factors that contribute to your home, and you, being an insurable risk. Since homeowners insurance is something that your mortgage company will usually require, you should think about "pre-qualifying" for your home insurance just like you do for your home loan. Requirements will vary by company.
