    [CALIFORNIA] – In a significant development that could ripple across California’s homeowner landscape, Allstate has secured approval to raise its homeowners insurance rates by an average of 34%. This staggering increase is set to take effect this November, impacting more than 350,000 policyholders statewide. As one of the largest rate hikes this year, it stresses the growing pressures on the insurance industry in the Golden State.

    Allstate points to a trio of factors to justify its decision: skyrocketing home values, increased costs for home repairs, and a noticeable rise in severe weather events. As a result, homeowners across California will soon feel the financial pinch.
