Sounding an Alarm on Homeowner’s Insurance
February 20, 2019 | Real Estate | By: Michelle Wagner | From The: Outer Banks Sentinel | 1
OBAR’s Willo Kelly rallies opposition to proposed 30% increase Homeowners on the barrier island portions of Dare, Currituck and Hyde Counties could face as much as a 30% hike in their insurance rates under a North Carolina Rate Bureau filing, Outer Banks Association of Realtors Chief Executive Officer Willo Kelly warned an audience of about 30 people at a League of Women Voters-sponsored forum on Feb. 13. Based on $200,000 of dwelling rebuild value with a $1,000 deductible, the proposed rate would mean a hike in insurance premiums from the current rate of $2,383 to $3,098 in the beach areas. Inland areas of Dare, Currituck, Hyde and Pamlico Counties face a potential 25 percent increase — which would translate into a nearly $500 increase based on the same values.
