Are Homeowners Missing Important Insurance Protections?
In a changing risk landscape, simply having a standard homeowners insurance policy may not be enough to fully protect your family’s most valuable asset—your home. According to the 2025 Homeowners Coverage Awareness Report, many U.S. homeowners are aware of additional coverages, but far fewer actually carry them.
Coverage Awareness vs. Coverage Reality
Recent research highlights a significant gap between what homeowners know and what they actually purchase:
• Most homeowners are aware of umbrella insurance, but only a small percentage carry it.
• Valuables coverage is widely recognized, yet rarely added.
• Recreational vehicles are commonly owned, but often uninsured or underinsured.
• Cyber insurance awareness and adoption remain extremely low.
Why These Gaps Matter
Standard homeowners insurance policies have limits and exclusions that many people don’t discover until after a loss occurs. Jewelry, collectibles, electronics, and sports equipment often require additional coverage. At the same time, cyber threats such as identity theft and digital fraud are becoming more common, creating new risks that traditional policies were never designed to address.
How an Independent Agent Helps
Working with an independent insurance agent ensures your coverage keeps pace with your life. We take time to understand what you own, how you live, and what risks matter most to you.
An independent agent helps by:
• Identifying coverage gaps before a loss happens
• Explaining options in plain language
• Comparing coverage across multiple carriers
• Focusing on protection and peace of mind—not just price
The Bottom Line
Your home deserves more than a one-size-fits-all insurance policy. Additional protections such as umbrella liability, scheduled valuables coverage, and cyber insurance can make a meaningful difference when the unexpected happens.
