> And I may add that - that data is from 2021. Certainly, in my opinon that market share has grown in 2022 and so far in 2023 as they have literally been almost the only game in town.

> One late addition here: Those are not the trending new sales though. For much of the areas here in CA - State Farm had to be writing upwards of 30% to 40% of the new business. [No data here just professional experience.] New sales AND nonrenewals being placed with them. [And I believe that that was part of the problem.] Therefore I am really not sure where the San Francisco area goes from here for new home purchases.
