Insurers have canceled roughly 400,000 California home policies since 2021 — RidgeWater’s Oregon State Firewise certification keeps buyers eligible for coverage that’s vanishing across high-risk counties.

A home trade-in option lets you reserve a homesite and design your custom build without the stress of selling your California house first.
