Nebraska homeowners insurance rates projected to rise 10% this year
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Insurance rates keep climbing for homeowners in Nebraska.
A new study shows premiums are expected to increase by 10% by the end of 2025.
And that’s after several years of increases.
According to S&P Global, the percentage increase in insurance rates has grown every year since 2019, soaring by 22.7% in 2024. That was the highest jump in the United States.
Nebraska is no stranger to severe weather, and that’s largely the driving force behind these numbers.
The Cornhusker State has seen a flurry of severe thunderstorms already this year. With no signs of slowing down, insurers are having to keep up.
Omega Insurance Group in Lincoln said homeowners are feeling the impact.
“Those rates have sometimes doubled or even tripled in the last several years,” said Ryan Sanee, co-owner and agent at Omega. “The driver is the severity and frequency of storms.”

Channel 8 went door to door Wednesday evening listening to Lincoln homeowners.
The consensus was “it is what it is,” but some are still a bit concerned.
One home told Channel 8 he hasn’t paid much attention to his rate because he has other rising expenses to focus on.

Sanee said as long as Nebraska keeps seeing severe weather like it has recently, the trend will continue.
“Until we see a reduction in severity of storms, we’re going to see these rates continue to climb, unfortunately,” he said.
To combat this climb, Omega Insurance said you might want to look into higher-deductible plans.

LINCOLN, NE — Ole Miss baseball will have to wait until May 31 to finish its second game of the Lincoln Regional.
The game between Ole Miss (37-20) and Nebraska (43-15) will resume May 31 at noon. TV information has not been announced. The game went in a weather delay at 10:20 p.m. before the ninth inning on May 30 because of rain and lightning.
No. 2 Rebels are leading No. 1 Nebraska 6-3. It’s a winner’s bracket game in the Lincoln Regional at Haymarket Park.
Ole Miss has taken control of the game after entering the sixth inning down 1-0. Starting pitcher Taylor Rabe pitched six innings and gave up one run.
Owen Paino had a two-run double in a three-run sixth for the Rebels. Ole Miss scored two runs on bases-loaded walks in the seventh.
The other two games on May 31 remain in their originally scheduled timeslots. If Ole Miss wins, the Rebels will face the winner of Nebraska and Arizona State on May 31 at 7 p.m. The Cornhuskers and Sun Devils play an elimination game at 2 p.m. to get to the night game.
If Ole Miss wins that game, the Rebels will move on to a super regional against the winner of the Auburn Regional. If Ole Miss loses, the Rebels will play in an if-necessary game against the same team on June 1 to decide who wins the regional.
