Property insurance growth: Where US market value is concentrated for MGAs and wholesale brokers

Property insurance lines of business (LOBs) have seen uneven growth across US states, yet a handful of markets account for the lion’s share of new premium dollars. Drawing on the Property & Casualty LOB Performance & Market Trends dashboard, this article ranks the states and LOBs that have posted the largest absolute increases in property insurance value since 2022. The dashboard, today available for free, offers a critical lens for MGAs and wholesale brokers seeking to allocate capacity and target growth. 

The data, collated by state and top-growing property LOB, show that just five states generated more than $10 billion in additional property insurance value within a single sub-line between 2022 and 2024. Homeowners multiple peril was the dominant driver in terms of state-level surges. The dashboard provides a granular view of these shifts, enabling intermediaries to benchmark opportunities and risks across regional markets. 

Florida and California dominate growth rankings 




Florida led all states by a considerable margin. There, homeowners multiple peril profits rose $5.2 billion, more than double the next highest state. California followed with $2.1 billion in homeowners' multiple growth, trailed by Minnesota ($2.0 billion), Louisiana ($1.9 billion), and New York ($1.0 billion). In Florida, the value of Homeowners multiple peril coverage rose from $3.2 billion in 2022 to $8.4 billion in 2024, a 2.6-fold increase over two years. 

These figures underscore the outsized influence of catastrophe-exposed states, where inflation, reinsurance costs, and climate-driven losses combine to drive up both rates and total insured values. For MGAs and wholesalers, this concentration of growth signals both opportunity and heightened volatility. 

Homeowners multiple peril: the standout LOB 



Nationally, homeowners multiple peril accounted for $16 billion in growth, dwarfing other property lines. Fire insurance was a distant second, with $7.5 billion in added value, followed by commercial multiple peril (non-liability portion) at $6.2 billion. The dominance of homeowners multiple peril reflects both the scale of the residential market and the impact of recent market hardening. 

The data also highlights outliers at the lower end: Delaware, the District of Columbia, and Vermont each saw growth of less than $27 million in their top property LOBs, underscoring the disparity in market size and opportunity.
