BRANCHVILLE, N.J., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 2 in 5 (43%) of home insurance policyholders who purchased or received valuable items (worth $1,000 or more) during the recent holiday season did not update their insurance coverage to insure those items, according to a new study commissioned by Selective and conducted by The Harris Poll.
The online study, which polled over 1,700 US homeowners/renters insurance policyholders (policyholders) in late December 2020, found that nearly one-third (29%) of policyholders are not aware of the need to update a homeowners or renters insurance policy to protect new high-value items in case of a loss caused by an event like fire, flood, or burglary. Of those policyholders that updated/plan to update their insurance policy to reflect their new high-value items received/purchased during the holidays, 52% work with an independent or captive insurance agent.
"These findings show that the majority of Americans with homeowners or renters insurance policies may be facing unappreciated risk by failing to insure their valuables properly," said Allen Anderson, Senior Vice President, Personal Lines, Selective. "If you're one of the more than half of American policyholders whose household acquired valuable items over the holidays, now is a perfect time to take inventory of your assets – new and old – and make sure they're properly insured."
Additional highlights from the Selective survey can be found here and include:
Homeowners and renters should speak with an independent insurance agent to review whether their insurance includes coverage for specialty items like jewelry, watches, or even comic book or trading card collections. Standard policies may not cover these items. An independent insurance agent can advise you whether you need to itemize your possessions and help create tailored solutions to protect your assets if the worst occurs.
The start of the New Year is the ideal time to take inventory of assets and talk to an insurance agent about the best coverage for your valuable possessions. Visit Selective.com today to learn more about our unique coverage solutions to meet your individual needs.
Methodology
The Harris Poll, on behalf of Selective Insurance Company of America, conducted the online survey within the United States from December 28-30, 2020, by polling 2,057 U.S. adults aged 18+, of whom 1,790 said that they have homeowners/renters insurance. Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, household income, education, marital status, and household size where necessary to align respondents with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
