1) If it makes sense after considering the last item on this tips list, let the same company provide you both auto and home insurance. If it still makes sense after implementing the last tip in this article, have all your insurance policies with the same insurance. Insurance companies give what is often referred to as multi-line discount. But like I said, make sure you implement the last tip before making that decision.
2) Check the neighborhood before buying a house. You pay a lot more if you buy a house in a neighborhood that has a high crime rate. If you can, buy a house close to a police and/or fire station. The closer you are to these, the lower your home insurance will be.
3) Use good security and fire systems. These will also lower your home insurance.
4) Increase your deductible. Make it as high as you are comfortable with. But do bear in mind that you'll have to pay that amount first when you make a claim before your insurance company comes in.
5) Do all within your power to maintain a good credit. If you have poor credit you are telling homeowners insurance providers that you'll likely default in your premiums. That's not good for you as they'll slam a higher premium on you.
6) Visit insurance quotes sites. Things change very often these days. So, yes, you might have done that not so long ago. However, it certainly doesn't hurt to do it again. These insurance quotes sites help you know if you're paying a lot more than you should. Once, I saw a difference of over $2,000 on an insurance policy (Yes, for the same profile).
To get the best quote, make sure you visit at least three of these sites. They'll give you more options. Thereafter, compare all your quotes and choose the best price/value.
