Our mid-year market update to business owners. Of note is the fact that rates are still high on property insurance due to the high incidence of natural catastrophes the past few years. However, insurers have increased capacity from elevated profits in 2023, so 2024 has been more stable. We expect a softening market in 2025 if it’s a quiet hurricane season again. Favorable occupancies, superior and newer construction, and well-maintained properties are getting the most favorable terms currently. What's in your control is maintenance and updates, as well as selecting a good insurance broker with wide market reach.
