Newrez is expanding its partnership with digital insurance marketplace Matic, adding real-time homeowners insurance comparison capabilities to its HomeHub customer portal.
The integration allows Newrez homeowners to compare personalized homeowners insurance coverage options and receive quotes 24/7 through the HomeHub platform. Customers can also review their current insurance risk assessment and policy protection score, providing additional insight into their coverage needs.
The addition builds on Newrez's HomeHub platform, launched in the fourth quarter of 2025, which provides customers with access to loan information, refinance opportunities, home equity management tools, local home listings, and support services.
"By fully integrating the Matic platform into the Newrez HomeHub experience, our homeowners will be able to explore real-time insurance savings, similar to how we proactively notify customers when they can save money on their mortgage," said Leslie Gillin, chief commercial officer at Newrez. "Insurance costs have trended up dramatically over the past five years, and we wanted to help proactively mitigate this real pain point our homeowners have been dealing with."
The announcement comes amid rapidly rising homeowners' insurance costs. A recent Newrez report, previously covered by NMP, found average premiums increased 64% between 2021 and 2025, with more than one in five states posting increases of at least 75%. The typical annual premium reached $2,625 by the end of 2025, and homeowners in several states now pay close to or more than $4,000 per year.
Homeowners insurance directly affects monthly housing payments and escrow costs, making premium increases another factor influencing overall borrower affordability.
Newrez said homeowners who switched insurance carriers through Matic saved an average of $928 last year, suggesting that actively shopping for coverage may offer borrowers another avenue to reduce monthly housing costs.
"We're pleased to expand our partnership with Newrez and bring Matic's network of over 70 carriers to Newrez's digital ecosystem," said Ben Madick, CEO and co-founder of Matic. "Over the past several years, Newrez and Matic have worked together to help homeowners navigate rising insurance costs across the country. This integration makes the process of comparing coverage options more efficient and accessible for Newrez homeowners."
According to Newrez, the expanded integration is intended to make insurance comparison shopping a seamless part of the homeowner experience.
"We're setting a new standard for homeownership platforms by embedding this new capability directly into HomeHub—meeting homeowners where they are and making it easier for them to save money and navigate their options with greater clarity," Gillin added.
