The composite rate for personal lines across the US was 4% for the third quarter 2023.
All homes, regardless of value, enjoyed moderate increases, as did automobile and personal article floaters.
“Insurers are feeling better about their results in the personal lines space, resulting in lower rate increases,” said Richard Kerr, CEO of Novatae Risk Group. “However, the hottest summer on record does create concern for the future.”
The National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research conducted pricing surveys used in MarketScout’s analysis of market conditions. These surveys help to further corroborate MarketScout’s actual findings, mathematically driven by new and renewal placements across the United States.

| Automobile | Up 4.3% |
| Personal Articles | Up 2.7% |
