There are many ways to lower your home owners insurance rate. I'll touch just five in this article...

1. You'll pay lower home owners insurance rates if your neighborhood has a community watch. Many insurers will give discounts for this. So, if you have one, tell your agent about it. And, if you don't have one, you can initiate one in your neighborhood. Everyone in your neighborhood will stand to gain as this will lower their home insurance rates.

2. Set up your account to pay your home owners insurance premiums automatically and you'll get lower rates for that. All you have to do is to advise your bank or credit card company to transfer your premiums at certain periods automatically until advised otherwise. In addition to saving you in premiums you'll also save yourself a lot of time and hassles.

3. A typical car garage has highly inflammable liquids. So your home owners insurance premiums will be lower if you garage is detached and at a safe distance from your living area. Ask your agent to know by what factor this will lower your rates.

4. You'll save yourself a lot if you buy your home in an area that does not call for special insurance from natural disasters. For example, it will cost you around $400 extra annually if you buy your home in a flood-prone region. This is because you'll be compelled to buy a flood insurance by your mortgagor before they'll deem your home adequately insured.

And come to think of it, even if you have no mortgage on your home, would you risk leaving it without coverage from such peril if you find out that it's a big possibility? You can save yourself all that extra spend by buying your home in a flood-free area.

5. You can realize savings of several hundreds of dollars on your home owners insurance policy by getting quotes from quote sites. Requesting quotes from at least three quotes sites raise the chances that you would make bigger savings.
