I wonder if we will see Villages Insurance bring it back, too.

When we bought pre-owned a couple of years ago, we got the catastrophic ground collapse coverage but could not get the additional sinkhole coverage. -- I could never understand why it was avaiable on new homes but not pre-owned buys. But we were interested only in pre-owned homes. It looks like now we can have it. We will be looking into this.

Thank you, OP.
I spoke with them yesterday as I was just curious about it and she said they are offering it now but she did not know for how long as if it might be a temporary window. I worked at a local insurance company doing homeowner's insurance quotes for 3 years when I moved here and I don't remember any company offering to write a sinkhole policy without an inspection on a pre-owned home until now.
