A good mobile home insurance policy should include protection on the ff: Your personal items or possessions, coverage for liability, and insurance on your actual house and its immediate surrounding properties.

Mobile Home Insurance
Once you shop around for your Grand Prairie, Texas home’s insurance, one of the most important things to ask is if your personal possessions inside the house will include in the coverage. 

Once you do, it is recommended that you take a complete inventory of everything that you own, take a picture and label each possession and have it store somewhere secured. Although this is a bit of an effort, it will all be worth it in the event that you will need your insurance to cover your possessions.


Next will be liability insurance, which means protection from damages and liabilities incurred in the event someone gets hurt in your property. 

Medical costs and expenses are usually included within this coverage as well as legal defense expenses. This may or may not include protection to you and your immediate family living in the house.


Finally, good mobile home insurance should also include protection for your surrounding properties, this is especially vital for homes in Texas (Annual Hurricanes and all). 

Coverage for damages due to fire or smoke, storm, vandalism, and explosions should also be covered by a good insurance policy. Always make sure to read the fine print and understand exactly what will be covered under the policy you choose.

A Good Sign Home Sales Up In 17 States

Image
Sales of existing homes picked up in 17 states in the first quarter compared with the previous one, pointing to more signs of life for the home market. Nationally, first-quarter sales of existing homes were down 3.2% from the last three months of 2008 and down 6.8% year-over-year, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. But the improvement in 17 states is more evidence that the market is bottoming out, economists say. In the fourth quarter, only nine states showed better sales. Economists predict more states will show sales gains throughout the year, given still falling prices in many markets, low mortgage rates and some signs of improvement in the overall economy. “There are early signs of recovery in some states. They give me reason for optimism,” says Patrick Newport, economist at IHS Global Insight. He expects home sales to pick up nationwide in the later part of this year. The pace of the pickup this year may “surprise to the upside,” says Greg McBride,

Home Sales Down 8.4% Could Be At Bottom

Sales of existing homes slid 8.4% last year, the steepest fall in 17 years, but the market probably hit bottom in September and is entering a slow recovery that will last until June, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. One sign the market could revive this year is that the median home price, which had fallen for four months, was unchanged at $222,000 in December and was up 1.1% for all of 2006. And though it's still a buyer's market in most of the USA, the 7.3 month glut of homes for sale in November shrank to 6.8 months. "It looks like we are on the bottom, and we will be scraping the bottom as we move along," said David Lereah, the NAR's chief economist. "The worst is over for existing home sales, but I'm still troubled about new homes." The Commerce Department will release new home sales today. Those sales are expected to be down 17% for 2006 and to fall a further 9.7% this year, Lereah says. Not everyone is ready to herald the

Sales Of New Homes Rise 2.7%

September sales of new homes rose 2.7% from August, but economists and housing experts say the turmoil in the financial markets makes it too soon to declare a bottom to the housing market's downturn. Sales of single-family new construction fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 464,000, down about a third from the pace in September 2007, the Commerce Department reported Monday. The August to September gain was driven by strong results in the West, where sales jumped about 23% on the strength of some of the biggest price cuts by home builders anywhere in the country. The report said that the national median price for a new home was $218,400, down from a median price of $221,900 in August. The sales numbers in September "were only up because they were down so much in August," says Patrick Newport, an economist for Global Insight. Monday's report on new home sales followed the National Association of Realtors' report Friday showing that existing ho
