Unfortunately, there is no way to give an "average cost." The cost of the insurance varies based on a few different factors: location, age of the home/updates, coverage amount, owner's insurance history, company providing coverage.
As an example though, a $200,000 homeowner's policy in metro King county, can be as little as $375.00 or as high as $700.00 per yeardepending on the factors listed above.

You must be a mortgage broker or you're buying your first home. I get this question all the time from mortgage company reps and first-time home buyers. There are many factors that make up a home insurance rate.
Location of the home
Age of the home
Credit of the insured
Other policies for discounts
Coverage options you choose
Most mortgage brokers use $50/m as an estimate as they work up your paperwork. My advice would be to work with a licensed agent that represents multiple insurance companies so they can shop for you.
