Frequently asked questions
How much homeowners insurance coverage do I need?
Coverage should equal 100% of your home's replacement cost, plus adequate personal property and liability protection based on your assets and risk factors.
What's the difference between market value and replacement cost?
Market value is what your home would sell for today, while replacement cost is what it would cost to rebuild from scratch.
Should I include land value in my coverage calculation?
No, homeowners insurance covers the structure and belongings, not the land itself, since land cannot be destroyed or stolen.
