OP, a lot depends on the age of the house, ours is a 2013 vintage concrete block with wind mitigation on the roof, the result was a mild increase of around $300. Car insurance also depends on your selected coverage, especially deductibles, I tend to have $1000 or higher deductibles, I just got the bill, 2 cars (2012 and 2021 vintage) and it is around $1700, I have some questions and will be discussing with agent shortly.
The age of the roof on your house will have a big impact on your insurance rate, if it is approaching 15 years, you better plan on a new roof in your future (at your cost).
Hope this helps, make sure you account for all of the other expenses. Search this site, as there is another thread on the typical living expenses.
