Increased costs of repairing and rebuilding homes also weigh on insurers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, regulators are limiting the premium increases insurers can charge. Payouts on homeowners\u2019 insurance claims more than doubled from 2019 to 2022 but premiums increased by only a third, according to an insurer\u2019s group quoted in <em data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/home-insurers-curb-new-policies-in-risky-areas-nationally-c93abac0?mod=markets_featst_pos1\">The Wall Street Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"><\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n<p>Most recently, American International Group, also known as AIG, said it plans to reduce sales in affluent ZIP codes in New York, Delaware, Florida, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.
