Home values are sliding. Rebuild bills aren't (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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)
Read excerpt
For most people in Edgewater, a narrow borough along the Hudson River in Bergen County, last weekend's nor'easter meant water to stay away from. Officials now suspect some car owners may have seen it as a chance to make money.

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
Active assailant cover bucks the soft market (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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. General liability, umbrella and commercial auto kept rising, though, and so did a small specialty line that grew out of those same casualty pressures: active assailant insurance. The line is still small, but it is growing fast. Tarique Nageer, terrorism placeme
