MA Market Share Report 2019: The Top 20 Homeowner’s Multi-Peril Insurers In Massachusetts

June 11, 2019 by Agency Checklists

Top Homeowner's Multi-Peril Insurers in Massachusetts, Who writes the most homeowner's in Massachusetts


Continuing with our top ten lists, and in light of this week’s article on the new 2019 U.S. Property Claim’s Survey, Agency Checklists decided to focus this week’s list on the Homeowner’s Multi-Peril marketplace in Massachusetts. As just a reminder, all of our information comes courtesy of the Division of Insurance and includes data from 2017, the last year for which complete information is available.

In comparison with other lines of insurance, Homeowner’s Multi-Peril is one of the larger lines of insurance, however, the private passenger auto insurance marketplace continues to eclipse it as the larger of the two traditional lines of insurance of the independent insurance agencies in Massachusetts.

Seven insurers stopped writing Homeowner’s Multi-Peril insurance from 2016 to 2017 

In 2016, there were 154 insurers writing Homeowner’s Multi-Peril Insurance in Massachusetts. As of 2017, there are now 147. In addition to the departure of these insurers, as well as the decrease in participation in the FAIR Plan noted in a previous article, the top 20 insurers were able to increase their market share in this line of business from 62.6% to 64.2%.

This is the one of the few lines of business dominated by Massachusetts-based insurers

In terms of the amount of Massachusetts-based insurers who write this line of insurance, this is one of the marketplaces dominated by homegrown insurers. As noted in past years, the top five writers of this line of insurance are all based in Massachusetts, with a total of eight of the top 20 companies hailing from here. Those companies are:

  • Citation Insurance Co.
  • Arbella Mutual Insurance Co.
  • Commerce Insurance Co.
  • Merrimack Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
  • Safety Ind. Insurance Co.
  • Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.
  • Safety Insurance Co.
  • Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Co.

Premium and market share for this line of business

Some more data that you might find useful in understanding the Homeowner’s Multi-Peril marketplace in Massachusetts: 

  • The top 20 insurers have well over half of the Homeowner’s Multi-Peril market share with a combined 64.2% share of the market
  • Their total Direct Written Premium comes in at $1,504,865,205/
