Insights

The Housepower Report highlights concerning trends in the home insurance market that could significantly impact Hippo's business model and revenue potential. The 46% of homeowners spending over $5,000 on unexpected repairs in 2024, up from 36% in 2023, indicates a growing market opportunity. More notably, the surge in homeowners encountering unexpected repairs from 46% to 83% year-over-year represents a substantial expansion in potential claims and service demands.

The data showing 42% of homeowners planning to revisit their insurance coverage in 2025, combined with 31% considering additional coverage like flood insurance, suggests a strong potential for premium growth. However, this opportunity is tempered by the 73% of homeowners reporting purchase regrets and 59% considering moving in 2025, which could lead to policy churn and increased customer acquisition costs.

The report reveals critical risk factors affecting the property insurance sector. The dramatic increase in weather-related concerns, with 42% reporting flood risks and 35% citing wildfire risks, directly impacts loss ratios and underwriting strategies. The 24 billion-dollar climate events in 2024 underscore the growing severity of weather-related claims.

A concerning trend is the significant gap between preventative maintenance spending and repair costs. While nearly half of homeowners spent over $5,000 on unexpected repairs, a quarter invested less than $1,000 in preventative maintenance. This disparity suggests potential underwriting challenges and the need for more robust risk assessment models. The high percentage of homeowners creating emergency plans (47%) indicates growing risk awareness, which could positively impact loss prevention efforts.

From Renewed Commitments to DIY Home Maintenance to Purchasing Flood Insurance, U.S. Homeowners Embrace Proactive Strategies to Protect Their Investment

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hippo (NYSE: HIPO), the home insurance group focused on proactive home protection, today released findings from its third annual Housepower Report. The national survey of over 2,000 U.S. homeowners revealed the creative steps homeowners are taking to protect their homes in 2025.

"In 2024, when faced with unexpected repairs, many homeowners shelled out high out-of-pocket costs to manage their homes," said Hippo President and CEO Rick McCathron. "We understand the importance of preventative care and are here to help homeowners confidently protect their homes, and in turn, their primary financial investment, from offering insurance coverage tailored to their needs to providing personalized maintenance advice in the Hippo Home app all year long."

Findings from the 2024 Housepower Report Include:

Unexpected Repair Costs Soared in 2024
In 2024, nearly half (46%) of homeowners spent more than $5,000 on unexpected repairs - an increase from 36% in 2023. The most common home repairs included water damage and/or flooding, roof issues, and door or window problems.

Over 83% of homeowners reported encountering unexpected home repairs this year, nearly doubling from 46% in 2023. These surprises impacted homeowners' feelings of financial stability, with 47% indicating that unexpected repairs strained their budgets.

These unexpected issues come as many homeowners grapple with high mortgage rates and living costs, signaling the growing importance of preventative care to help reduce financial stress.

Homeowner Priorities for 2025
The house itself is regarded as the primary financial asset for U.S. households, according data from the Survey of Consumer Finances. Data from the Housepower Report shows how homeowners plan to protect their investment in 2025:

  • Emergency Plans: 29% said emergency planning should be a top priority in 2024. Building on this trend, nearly half (47%) are creating or updating their own emergency plans in 2025.
  • Insurance Reviews: In 2024, nearly half (46%) said home insurance and protection plans became more important to them. Now 42% say they'll be revisiting their home insurance coverage in 2025, while 31% have or will purchase optional coverage, such as flood insurance.
  • DIY Projects: In 2025, 55% plan to do more DIY home maintenance to help save on household costs. Taking on DIY projects could also allow more financial flexibility for homeowners to invest in home upgrades or purchase additional insurance coverage.
  • Energy Efficiency: 59% identified efficiency and sustainability as a priority in 2024. Steps toward sustainability and efficiency could include home upgrades like installing smart thermostats, improving insulation, or sealing air leaks.

Home Maintenance Motivations: Balancing Costs and ROI
Preventative home maintenance is another critical strategy for homeowners to protect their financial investment. In 2024, 64% of homeowners said they prioritized home maintenance to help preserve their home's overall condition, while 46% did so to improve their home's return on investment (ROI), and 45% did so to help prevent costly repairs.

Yet, nearly a quarter of homeowners spent less than $1,000 on proactive seasonal maintenance in 2024, significantly less than the $5,000 or more that nearly half (46%) of homeowners spent on unexpected repairs.

Homeowner Regrets Rise, Again
A striking 73% of homeowners reported having regrets about their home purchase in 2024, up from 63% in 2023, and nearly on par with the 78% of homeowners who had regrets about their home purchase in 2022

The top homeowner regrets of 2024 included:

  1. Compromising on desired features (42%)
  2. Paying a mortgage rate that is higher than they can comfortably afford (34%)
  3. Underestimating unexpected repairs (29%)

These homeowner regrets are fueling future plans, with 59% considering moving in 2025 to better align with their financial and personal goals.

Weather Concerns Steadily Grow
Data from the Housepower Report revealed that 28% of homeowners expressed concern about extreme weather preparedness in 2024, up from 25% in 2023. Of the weather challenges impacting their homes in 2024, homeowners reported heightened flood risk (42%), wildfire risk (35%), strong winds or tornadoes (30%), and hailstorms (29%).

Weather-related challenges are expected to fuel increased importance of home insurance and protection plans for homeowners in 2025. As of November 2024, the U.S. had experienced 24 billion-dollar climate and weather-related disaster events, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
