2005 Market Conditions Survey

PIA launched its second Market Conditions Survey in Connecticut, New Hampshire and New Jersey and its third survey in New York on the PIA Web site on March 1, 2005, as part of its ongoing effort to track market conditions. The survey asked agents to rate the availability of the following lines of insurance on a scale from one to five (one suggesting that the market for this line is highly competitive, and five indicating that the market is impossible to place).
  • Q1 - Artisan contractors' GL
  • Q2 - Coastal homeowners
  • Q3 - Commercial auto
  • Q4 - Commercial liability
  • Q5 - Commercial umbrella
  • Q6 - General contractors' GL
  • Q7 - Habitational (apartment houses)
  • Q8 - Large property (value of more than $55 million)
  • Q9 - Long-haul trucking
  • Q10 - Non-standard personal auto
  • Q11 - Restaurants
  • Q12 - Small workers' compensation (under $5,000 in premium)
  • Q13 - Taverns
  • Q14 - Tenant-occupied dwellings
  • Q15 - Standard personal auto

The survey was available for two months, ending in May. PIA members who wished to participate but who did not have Internet access could to fax in answers. In all, more than 500 participated.
