Yes. Seventeen new insurers entered the Florida market in 2025–2026, with 83 rate-decrease filings effective January 2026 and average reductions of approximately 13.4% across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. This follows a period of 40–80% premium increases between 2020 and 2024 driven by hurricane losses, litigation abuse, and reinsurance market tightening.

Florida's property insurance market is undergoing its most significant positive structural shift in a decade — driven by tort reform and improving reinsurance availability, not by weather relief.

Seventeen new homeowners insurers entered the Florida market, 83 rate-decrease filings take effect January 2026, and the tri-county average rate reduction is approximately 13.4%.

The reductions are meaningful but uneven — direct oceanfront buildings and pre-2000 construction see smaller reductions than the market average.
