California homeowners insurance
Homeowners insurance helps protect your home and belongings against covered losses. In California, start checking insurance availability and cost early in a home purchase, and review coverage before renewal. A mortgage preapproval is not confirmation that a particular property can be insured. Compare coverage, exclusions, deductibles and the total cost, then have your lender review the proposed policy.
