Insurance Market Trends: A Positive Outlook for Car Buyers
As we step into May, we’re continuing to see signs that the insurance market is on an upward trajectory, promising better conditions for car buyers seeking competitive rates. In this Insurance Market Flash Report, we bring you the insights and trends from April to inform your dealership's insurance strategy.
Market Health Improvement in North Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee
We saw considerable improvement in market health in several key states, with North Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee leading the charge. This improvement means customers will have a better chance than they did earlier in the year to get more quotes and more competitive quotes that could lead to savings.
Overall Market Improvement and States to Watch
Despite a few outliers, the general trend across the states we cover is encouraging. Many regions are showing signs of improvement, though states like Oregon, Utah, Michigan, and New Jersey are still warming up to the positive changes seen elsewhere. Looking forward to the rest of 2024, we anticipate that insurance companies will extend more competitive rate options to prospective customers. While the market in California will remain challenging for the foreseeable future, and some New England states may lag behind the national recovery curve until later in the year, there are ample opportunities for consumers to benefit from increasingly favorable conditions.
Insurance Companies Expanding Operations
This past month, we've noticed that some of our major insurance companies are reinvigorating their efforts to expand operations across the states we serve. Notably, one of the nation's leading insurance brands is pursuing growth in 80% of the states covered by Polly Insurance. This is a significant shift from last year's more cautious stance, where many insurance companies halted new business.
