Allstate Homeowners Insurance Rate Hike in Illinois: What the 2026 Increase Means After State Farm’s 27% Jump

CHICAGO — Illinois homeowners are heading into 2026 with another major cost increase on the horizon: Allstate has filed to raise homeowners insurance rates statewide, following State Farm’s headline-making hike earlier this year. The back-to-back moves are intensifying a political fight in Springfield over how (and whether) Illinois should regulate home insurance prices, while consumer advocates warn affordability is eroding for hundreds of thousands of families who have little choice but to keep coverage to satisfy mortgage requirements.
