If you are moving from another state to NH, ie; CT to NH, don't compare your insurance in CT to rates you may get in NH. If I am stating the obvious to you, please don't take offense. I used to receive regular phone calls for the reverse, leaving, for instance NH, and moving to CT and why did my insurance go up.

Back in my prior life as a Personal Lines Underwriter, I was responsible for underwriting in all 6 NE states. MA rates are pretty much set by the state, but out of the other 5, CT was significantly more expensive than any other state.

Doesn't help GBG (wow, big increase if across the board, which the NH Insurance commission or board would have to approve). State Farm would have to justify that kind of increase.

Bottom line, it can pay to shop.
