Insurance costs are one of the biggest budgeting questions buyers ask me in buying in Orlando FL 2025. After 20 years as a real estate agent, over 693 homes sold, and 157+ Google 5-star reviews, I can tell you that insurance varies widely depending on the home you choose — and it’s something you should evaluate early in your search.

What Impacts Florida Insurance Rates?

Insurance premiums depend on factors like:

  • Roof age

  • Building materials

  • Age of the home

  • Four-point inspection results

  • Location risk (not who the home is ideal for — just property characteristics)

Why Insurance Costs Have Risen

Storm patterns and insurance industry shifts have increased premiums statewide. But not all areas are affected equally.
