16、 the homeowners to be more confident in their coverage.LexisNexis Home Insurance Consumer Insights study2IntroductionIndustry analysis suggests a growing distance between carriers and consumers.For example,carriers are grappling with:Receding advocacy.Every top 10 home or auto insurer is seeing rece
17、ding consumer advocacy.In 2023,each of these home carriers lost all the NPS gains they earned in 2022.1 Perceived inequality.Only 42%of those with homeowners insurance think their rate is fair.2 Meanwhile,home insurance carriers are challenged by increases in:Loss costs.Since 2016,U.S.home carriers
18、have experienced increasing loss costs across all perils combined.For example,from 2022 to 2023,all loss costs increased by 4.1%.3 Inflation.Rebuilding and replacement costs grew 55%between 2019 and 2022 and reinsurance costs increased by 30-40%.4 Catastrophe losses.In 2023,there were a record-break
19、ing 28 weather and climate disasters with losses exceeding$1 billion,exceeding the previous high of 22 events in 2020.5 Industry analysis projects an estimated annual growth of 5-7%in the severity and frequency of catastrophe losses.6 Rates.Nationally,home insurance rates increased by 11.3%in 2023.7
20、 One thing that isnt increasing?Profitability.In 2023,the net combined ratio in home insurance was 110.5%and just two of the top 20 home carriers recorded a profitable year.8 The high cost of in-person inspections puts carriers in a difficult positionCarriers need an accurate,comprehensive view of a
21、 propertys risk,but the high cost of boots-on-the-ground inspections makes it difficult for carriers to get a complete view of risk on as many properties as they would like.Therefore,some carriers may only inspect certain properties,leaving underwriters with an incomplete view of risk exposure on ma
22、ny properties and making it difficult to make informed underwriting decisions.Carriers may also make budgets go further by only inspecting exteriors.However,our analysis indicates that nearly half of all claims originate in the interior of the home.9 In other words,carriers are capturing some proper
23、ty data,but its not as comprehensive as what they need or want.This creates inconsistencies in the underwriting processand can lead to poor risk decisions.Introducing the LexisNexis Home Insurance Consumer Insights studyThe LexisNexis Home Insurance Consumer Insights study provides strategic insight
24、s that can help carriers chart a path back to profitability.To better understand what consumers expect and need from home insurance carriers in 2024,we commissioned a market research study of 2,045 U.S.consumers of homeowners insurance.The research results reveal:What homeowners value about home ins
25、uranceand what theyre willing to pay more for.What homeowners are(incorrectly)assuming about their home insurance coverageand what that means for carriers.How two customer segmentsSet it&Forget it and Insurance Involvedinteract with their home insurance,and how carriers can better tailor their offer
26、ings and service to meet each segments needs.What homeowners think about consumer-led inspections using a mobile device,which we refer to as mobile methods for home inspections in this reportand how carriers can use the mobile method to gain a more complete picture of risk.LexisNexis Home Insurance

32、Bundling Nationally,most homeowners bundle their home and auto insurance(Figure 1).Figure 1:Seven out of 10 homeowners bundle their home and auto insurance.Table 1 shows that among bundlers,primary drivers are price(73%)and convenience(30%).Among those with separate providers,primary drivers are che

51、ws that few homeowners are very familiar with the specific details of their policy and coverage.For example,only 32%of homeowners are very familiar with coverage and limits for personal property,30%with personal liability and 26%with dwelling coverage and limits.Homeowners have even less familiarity
52、 with their coverage and limits for other coverage types.Ironically,nearly all homeowners(89%)said they feel they have at least enough coverage to replace,repair or rebuild their home.Given that most homeowners are not very familiar with their coverage and limits,could they be making incorrect assum
53、ptions about their coverage?For example,given inflation and increases to labor and material costs,industry analysis suggests the majority of homeowners may be underinsured.A 2022 study from the American Property Casualty Insurance Association found that 63%of insured homeowners had not adjusted or w
54、erent sure if their coverage was adjusted for annual inflation and 67%hadnt added or werent sure if they had added extended replacement cost coverage to their policy.10 Figure 4:Homeowners are not highly knowledgeable about the coverage and limits of their home insurance policy.Very familiar,know ex

59、meowners assume their carrier or agent is making sure they have adequate coverage In the previous section,we uncovered a disconnect between homeowners policy knowledge and their perception of adequate coverage.In this section,we dig into the disconnectand reveal a key assumption that many homeowners
60、 are making.First,homeowners hold themselves at least partly accountable for collecting and providing information that helps determine if theyre properly covered(Figure 5).Roughly eight out of 10 say they are equally or more responsible for providing information at application and renewaland homeown
61、ers assume slightly more responsibility at renewal(38%)than at application(33%).However,while homeowners assume equal or more responsibility for collecting and providing information,70%rely on their carrier or agent to make sure they have the right type and amount of home insurance coverage.Further,
62、the more reliant a homeowner is on their carrier or agent,the less likely they are to be aware of risks and the more likely they are to perceive they have adequate coverage.For example,among homeowners who are more reliant on their carrier or agent,31%are very aware of potential risks and 81%perceiv

66、r Insights study10Put another way,less reliant homeowners are more engaged with their carrier or agent and consequently,have more awareness of potential risks and are less likely to assume they have the right coverage.As we will see in Part 2,there are other benefits to having more engaged homeowner
67、s.Ultimately,these findings highlight a primary assumption on the part of most homeowners:that their carrier or agent is ensuring they have adequate home insurance coverage.The research also highlights an opportunity for carriers:homeowners generally assume responsibility for providing information t
68、hat determines coverage.As we will see in Part 3,solutions are available to help carriers address the assumptionand capture the opportunity.Part 2:Homeowners split into two primary segments:Set it&Forget it and Insurance InvolvedOur research identified two primary customer segments:homeowners with t
69、he Set it&Forget it mentality(47%)and homeowners with the Insurance Involved mentality(37%,Figure 6).Figure 6:Most homeowners fall into two main customer segments:Set it&Forget it and Insurance Involved.I dont think about home insurance.I buy my policy and forget about it.“Set it&Forget it”Mentality

73、r Insights studyLexisNexis Home Insurance Consumer Insights study12In addition to differing behaviors,these segments have different attitudes toward home insurance(Figure 7).Homeowners with the Insurance Involved mindset are more likely to value home insurance and feel more knowledgeable about insur
74、ance,two characteristics that are beneficial for carriers.Whereas,fewer than half of homeowners with the Set it&Forget it mindset are highly concerned with needing to use home insurance(48%),have it to cover a variety of events(42%)and know the specifics of their policy and coverage(37%).In both seg
75、ments,most are willing to pay higher premiums to be fully covered and feel home insurance is worth the money.Homeowners with the Insurance Involved mindset are roughly 1.5 times more likely than the average homeowner to say they are very familiar with the coverage and limits of their home insurance
76、policy.For example,Figure 4 showed that 32%of all homeowners are very familiar with the coverage and limits for personal property.In contrast,Figure 8 shows that 50%of homeowners with the Insurance Involved mindset say they are very familiar with these details.However,even among homeowners with the
77、Insurance Involved mindset,policy knowledge is limited.Figure 7:Homeowners with the Set it&Forget it mindset are less likely to value home insurance,use it for minor and major events and know the specific details of their policy and coverage.Figure 8:Fewer than half of homeowners with the Insurance

82、hey have proper coverage.Because homeowners with the Set it&Forget it mentality are less proactively engaged with their carrier,there may be hidden risks to their property.To help maintain price to risk for this customer segment,carriers should ensure they arent inadvertently covering hidden risks,e

84、ers with the Set it&Forget it mentality.Homeowners with the Insurance Involved mindset are more engaged with their carrier,which can be beneficial for maintaining price to risk.However,they may be more likely to contact their agent or contact center,increasing operational expenses.Carriers that find

86、arriers meet homeowners expectations and improve risk assessmentGiven the expense,intrusiveness and poor scalability of in-person inspections,many carriers are considering other ways to assess the risk associated with a property,both at new business and renewal.One approach is to assess risk by cons
87、idering properties with similar conditions and features.This approach can help carriers identify risks to the exterior of the home.However,two neighboring homes that look similar on the outside can have significantly different risk profiles on the inside.As discussed earlier,nearly half of claims or
88、iginate inside the home.12 A better alternative is to leverage a mobile method for home inspections,which allows carriers to assess risk on a homeowners actual propertycapturing both the exterior and the interior.Assessing risk based on a propertys actual conditions and features is considered by 61%
89、of homeowners to be a very fair and accurate way to determine home insurance ratesnearly twice that of using a similar home to determine rates.In our research study,the mobile method for home inspections was defined this way:Via their mobile device,a homeowner is prompted through the step-by-step pr
90、ocess to document the propertys condition,features and any potential risks or hazards through photos and/or videos.Throughout the process,the homeowner is prompted to document the required areas of the home and to ensure that the photos/videos needed have been accurately captured.The homeowner then
91、sends the images to the insurance company via text,email,uploads them to a website or submits them through a mobile app.Think its very fair and accurate to determine home insurance rates based on homes that are similar or have similar characteristicsThink its very fair and accurate to determine home

97、customer segments we identified in Part 2.Homeowners with the Set it&Forget it mentality are more reliant on their carrier and agent to ensure they have adequate coverage.Offering a mobile inspection can help carriers identify hidden risks to the property,rate more accurately and ensure homeowners w

100、In turn,that could mitigate the likelihood of future shopping or switching.In-person inspections are cost-prohibitive and difficult to scale,inhibiting carriers ability to obtain the insights they need for informed decision-making.The mobile method for visual inspections offers carriers a cost-effic

103、t for customer retention.As we discussed earlier,roughly one-third of homeowners shop at renewal.(Figure 2).In addition,without a robust renewal strategy,carriers may:Have made an upgrade to their current home in the time theyve lived there Completed upgrades and did not report any of them to their
