The Top Home Insurance Companies In Massachusetts

April 6, 2014 by AC Editor

The MPIUA or FAIR Plan still claims the largest share of the MA homeowners insurance market

While the MA FAIR Plan still claims the largest market share (based on premium volume) of the Massachusetts homeowner’s insurance marketplace, it has that distinction by only a slight margin. In fact, between 2011 and 2012, total enrollment in the FAIR Plan, decreased by 715 policies. As the following chart from the Division of Insurance demonstrates, it has been consistently losing market share over the past three years. It is important to note, however, that the FAIR Plan continues to dominate the homeowner’s market share for the Cape and the Islands where it accounted for 45.9% of all homeowners insurance policies.[pullquote] If none of the licensed insurance companies is willing to issue coverage for a specific home, the owner may apply to the Massachusetts Property Insurance and Underwriting Association (“MPIUA”, also known as the “FAIR Plan”), which, by statute, is required to offer coverage to homes with a replacement cost of up to $1.0 million – DOI Home Insurance Report[/pullquote]

The Top 10 Homeowners’ Insurance Companies in Massachusetts

In 2012, the Division says that insurance companies in Massachusetts collected approximately $1.9 billion in written premiums for homeowner’s insurance policies. There are currently 72 licensed insurance companies that offer home insurance to Massachusetts homeowners. The following insurers are the top 10 home insurance companies based upon the market share that they claim in the Commonwealth. Note that when excluding the FAIR Plan from the Massachusetts home insurance market place, 65.7% of coverage is written by private insurance companies.[pullquote]Among the top 10 home insurance companies in the market, only four – the Travelers Group, the Liberty Mutual Group, Chubb & Son Group, Inc. and the Amica Mutual Group – offer home insurance nationally. The remaining companies are regional companies offering coverage primarily in the Northeast – DOI Home Insurance Report[/pullquote]

Another interesting fact highlighted by the Division is that unlike a majority of other states, the vast majority of homeowners insurance companies are either local or regional companies. In fact, six out the top 10 companies offer coverage primarily in Massachusetts and the Northeast.
