Buying a new home is one of the biggest financial and emotional investments you’ll ever make. But many homeowners underestimate the importance of having homeowners insurance in place before they step through the front door. At Premier Choice Insurance, we often see clients facing risks during the transition period—when the home is technically theirs, but not yet occupied. Without coverage, a single unexpected event like a fire, burst pipe, or theft could cause thousands of dollars in losses before you even unpack a box. Getting homeowners insurance early ensures your property is protected from the very start of ownership. It gives you peace of mind knowing that if disaster strikes between closing and move-in, your investment is secure.
What Risks Can Arise Before Move-In Day?
Many assume that risks only begin after they start living in the house—but that’s far from the truth. From the moment you close on your home, you become responsible for its safety, condition, and liability. Without homeowners insurance, you’re financially exposed to:
- Fire and smoke damage caused by faulty wiring or unexpected electrical issues.
- Water damage from leaks, burst pipes, or roof problems.
- Vandalism and theft, especially in unoccupied homes awaiting move-in.
- Storm or wind damage that can affect roofing, windows, and siding.
- Liability risks, such as injuries that occur on your property before move-in.
These risks can happen anytime—and since repairs and replacements are costly, having your homeowners insurance policy active before move-in day ensures your home is covered from the very first moment it’s yours.
How Does Homeowners Insurance Protect a New Homeowner’s Investment?
At Premier Choice Insurance, we design policies that do more than just replace walls and roofs. Our coverage provides comprehensive protection for your structure, your belongings, and your financial security. Homeowners insurance typically includes:
- Dwelling Coverage – Repairs or rebuilds your home if covered perils like fire, hail, or windstorms damage it.
- Personal Property Coverage – Protects your belongings, from furniture to electronics, whether they’re at home or temporarily stored elsewhere.
- Liability Protection – Covers injuries or damages to others that occur on your property.
- Additional Living Expenses (ALE) – Pays for temporary housing and meals if your home becomes uninhabitable after a covered loss.
We understand every home and homeowner is different, which is why we offer customizable coverage options to meet your unique needs.
What Happens If You Delay Getting Homeowners Insurance?
Delaying insurance until after move-in can be a costly mistake. Even a short gap in coverage leaves your new home unprotected. If damage occurs before you activate your policy, you’ll be responsible for 100% of the repair and replacement costs—expenses that could easily reach tens of thousands of dollars. Moreover, some mortgage lenders require proof of homeowners insurance before closing. Failing to secure it early can delay your loan approval or closing date. Beyond that, if your home sustains damage before move-in, it could also lower its resale value or cause delays in your moving plans. By securing insurance early with Premier Choice Insurance, you eliminate these risks and ensure a seamless, stress-free transition into homeownership.
How Can Premier Choice Insurance Help New Homeowners Prepare?
We know buying a home can feel overwhelming—there are inspections, appraisals, and contracts to manage. That’s why Premier Choice Insurance simplifies the insurance process with personalized guidance and fast, reliable coverage setup. Here’s how we help new homeowners prepare:
- Personalized Consultations: We review your property details, risks, and goals to create a policy that fits perfectly.

Our goal is to make sure you move into your home with confidence and complete peace of mind.
When Is the Right Time to Get Your Homeowners Insurance Policy?
The best time to secure your homeowners insurance is as soon as your purchase agreement is accepted—long before you move in. This timing ensures that by the time you close on your new home, your policy is already in effect. Early coverage doesn’t just protect your property; it also helps you save money with Personalized Homeowners Insurance by allowing time to compare plans tailored to your needs. Whether you’re buying your first home or upgrading to your dream property, the protection you put in place before move-in day makes all the difference.
