Homeowners were already bracing for higher home insurance costs in 2025, and tariffs on construction materials could further raise insurance rates. Insurify projects tariffs will add an extra $106 to the average homeowner’s annual insurance costs, pushing the projected national average to $3,626 around the end of the year. Tariffs wouldn’t affect home insurance costs to the same extent as auto insurance costs, since home builders generally rely more on domestic materials.
