Both quotes, same house

All 17 Evansville Homes Priced Lower With Private

We priced 17 Evansville homes both ways. Median NFIP: $1,302 a year. Median private: $493. Matching the deductible on 9 of them did not change the result; private still won each time.

If your home is in Zone X, nobody may be requiring flood insurance. But a homeowners policy does not cover flood, and Evansville sits on the Ohio River. Knowing the real price helps you decide.

Zone X and beyond

What Evansville Homeowners Ask Us

Most Evansville conversations start with Zone X, because more than half the homes we quote here sit outside the high risk zone.

Checkmark

I am in Zone X. Do I need flood insurance?

Your lender usually will not require it in Zone X. It is your call. A Zone X policy in Evansville often costs less than you would expect, so get the number before you decide.

Checkmark

My lender says I am in a flood zone and I do not think I am. What now?

Lenders go by FEMA's map. If the map looks wrong for your home, a flood zone change may be possible. We can look at it with you.

Checkmark

My house is older. Does that change the price?

The median Evansville home we quoted was built in 1962. Age matters less than you might think; height and foundation matter more. Six of the Evansville homes we quoted had basements and seven had crawlspaces, so the foundation is the first thing we ask about.
