    Story updated at 1330 to include comment from broker Melissa Jolly. Australian homes are worth less than they were in March, and the people who track these things think there is a long way still to go. For the insurance industry, though, the more telling number is the one moving in the other direction: what it costs to put a house back up. Cotality's Home Value Index fell 1.1% in September, the sixth monthly decline in a row, leaving national values 5.2% below their March peak. Brisbane led the

    Luxury cars, a rising tide and a fraud probe in Edgewater, New Jersey (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Flood insurance is vanishing where the water is rising fastest (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    At the present moment, with factoring in a predicted super El Nini, roughly one in 12 US properties faces severe or extreme flood risk. Fewer than one in 40 has a federal flood insurance policy. That mismatch comes from an Associated Press analysis published yesterday. The study combined National Flood Insurance Program data with property-level risk modeling from First Street. It counted roughly 4.5 million NFIP policies, covering 2.4% of US properties, while 8.4% fall into the severe or extreme

    Commercial insurance buyers have had a better year than they're used to. Average commercial P&C premiums fell 1.2% in the first quarter of 2026, the first overall decrease since the third quarter of 2017, according to IMA Financial Group.

The line is still small, but it is growing fast. Tarique Nageer, terrorism placeme
