What Is Home Insurance?
Home insurance is a specific type of property insurance designed to cover losses and damages from incidents in, around, or related to your home. A standard homeowners policy will also provide liability coverage against these types of accidents, which means you’re also protected if someone else tries to find you legally responsible for something that happened to them. Additionally, it’s important to point out that homeowners insurance is different from mortgage insurance, business insurance, home warranties, renters insurance, and even secondary/vacation home insurance.

Do I need home insurance?
Home insurance is almost always required by the mortgage lender, with very few exceptions. State regulation may not legally require home insurance, but for the most part, it’s a necessity to facilitate a mortgage loan. Additionally, homeowners insurance provides benefits that you won’t exactly want to miss out on, given the size and importance of the investment—shelter is one of our most fundamental rights as humans, after all. At Weed Ross, we like to think of it as a financial shield to defend you against the unpredictable but inevitable accidents of day-to-day life.
Are there different types of home insurance?
Home insurance policies, like homes, come in all different shapes and sizes. Depending on your specific scenario, you may be looking at a couple of different types. But no worries—this is what we’re here for. However, as a quick and basic breakdown, home insurance is typically classified into eight different policy types, and some are more common and relevant than others.
The different types of homeowners insurance are:
- HO-1: a basic/limited coverage for single family homes
- HO-2: a commonly used policy with slight upgrades in coverages compared to HO-1
- HO-3: the most popular type of homeowners insurance with very broad coverage
- HO-4: a homeowners insurance for renters
- HO-5: an all-encompassing home insurance policy, the most comprehensive
- HO-6: a homeowners insurance designed for condos
- HO-7: a type of home insurance for mobile/manufactured homes
- HO-8: homeowners insurance specially formatted for homes that don’t meet certain standards
