Tips from an expert before buying a home

Are you in the market to buy a new home? Recent data from The National Association of Realtors shows existing home sales hit its highest level in nearly a decade. That’s great news for the economy, but many homeowners may not have a complete picture of what’s really involved in purchasing and moving into a home.

A new national survey from Allstate Insurance shows less than half (47%) of respondents who say they updated their insurance policy after making improvements to their new home. From changing their locks to buying a security system or updating a bedroom or bathroom, homeowners may be overconfident in their property insurance policies and missing out on ways to better protect themselves and save money.
