Setting coverage on a Fishers rental
Homes in Fishers carry a median value near $391,000 according to the Census, compared with $218,200 statewide. Because land is never rebuilt, many owners find their rebuild estimate differs from that figure in either direction.
For context, the NAIC reported that Indiana dwelling-fire policies insuring $350,000 to $399,999 averaged $1,130 a year in 2023, against a statewide dwelling-fire average of $753. Those are owner-occupied dwelling-form figures, not landlord quotes.
