Are adobe homes more expensive or cheaper to insure compared to traditional wood or brick homes? (Rio Rancho, NM)

Are adobe homes more expensive to insure compared to traditional wood or brick homes?

So adobe homes are more expensive. When an insurance company looks at the replacement cost of a home, part of what determines that is the construction of a home.

And a lot of people say, well, adobe homes don’t burn. Well, they don’t, but what they do is other parts of the house burn and then the water trying to put out those other parts, melts the adobes, and adobes are more expensive to construct.

So a true adobe home is more expensive to insure than a framed stucco home or a brick home.
