    Look for others to follow the Big Dog. Many companies play follow the leader when SF increase rates. Also, since their increase is 6.9%, don’t be surprised if they increase again. Under 7% avoids further scrutinization by the DOI so many companies file increases incrementally to come in under the 7% wire on each filing.

    “the California property insurance affiliate of State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., has not increased rates in the state since 2003. The most recent rate changes were rate reductions: 6.2 percent in September of 2005 and 20 percent in April of 2007”

    Overall, that makes them only 19.3% lower than prior to March 2007 instead of 26.2% lower, until now.
    SF is still very competitive, but all County/ZIP areas are different rates, even in CA.
    Good luck agents,
