The American Land Title Association (ALTA), the national trade association of the land title insurance industry, today announced that the title insurance industry generated $18.5 billion in title insurance premiums during 2025, according to ALTA’s latest Market Share Analysis. This represents a 13.8% increase compared to 2024.

“While the housing market continued to face affordability pressures and constrained inventory in 2025, the increase in title insurance premium volume reflects the resilience of the real estate economy and the essential role title professionals play in every transaction,” said ALTA CEO Chris Morton. “Every policy represents extensive research, risk mitigation and consumer protection work happening behind the scenes to help buyers, sellers and lenders close transactions with confidence. As fraud schemes become more sophisticated and transactions grow more complex, the expertise of title and settlement professionals has never been more important.”

As mortgage originations increased in 2025, title insurance premium volume also grew. The title industry closed out the year with a strong fourth quarter, as title premium volume increased 14.5% compared with the same period in 2024.

In 2025, the industry paid more than $667 million in claims. This is down from $676 million in claims paid in 2024.
