The title insurance industry generated $4.5 billion in title insurance premiums during the second quarter of 2025, according to the American Land Title Association’s (ALTA’s) latest Market Share Analysis. This compared to $4.1 billion during the same period a year ago.
“The title insurance industry continues to demonstrate resilience and reliability, even as the broader real estate market faces headwinds,” said ALTA CEO Chris Morton. “These results reflect not only strong financial performance, but also the vital role title professionals play in commercial real estate transactions alongside the residential housing market. Residential buyers, lenders and commercial real estate sectors all benefit from the stability and certainty title insurance protections provide every day.”
Total operating income increased 12.8% during the second quarter of 2025 compared to Q2 2024. The industry continued to maintain its strong financial position with total assets of $11.5 billion, while the statutory surplus was at $5.1 billion and statutory reserves were at $5.6 billion.
For the first six months of the year, title premium volume was up 13.2% compared to the first six months of 2024. The industry has paid $336 million in claims through the first six months of 2025. This is up from $333 million paid during the first half of 2024.
