How much should I insure my house for?

In most cases you want to insure it for the replacement cost not the appraised value or market value. In many cases the replacement cost is more than the appraised or market value. This means you have to pay for more insurance but it beats the hell out of being underinsured to the point that you can't rebuild your house if it burned down. As an insurance adjuster, I have seen people in that mess.

Your agent will figure the replacement cost based on a formula to rebuild the house per sq foot. It varies depending on the type of house and your locale, but it will probably be some between $65 per sg foot and $140 per sg foot.

For as much as it would cost to rebuild it, PLUS refurnish it.

If it burned to the ground with all your possessions inside, how much would you need to start over, plus live elsewhere while it was being rebuilt?

What would it cost you in your location with todays costs of Material and labor to re-build your home.

Insure it for this amount...anything less and you could end up
getting market value and pay out of your own pocket.

Since this is replacement Value... cover it as such.

Forget "appraised value". Any policy based on "appraised value" will make you very unhappy come claim time.

You need to insure the house for 100% of the cost to rebuild. That usually runs between $150 and $200 per square foot, varying geographically, however, any agent worth their salt should be willing to come to your house, and calculate it for you, using a square footage estimator.


Don't forget to add building ordinance & law coverage, if the house is more than a couple years old; guaranteed replacement cost on the building, and replacement cost on the contents. Also, go over the "special limitiations of coverage" with your agent, so you know if you need to schedule anything seperately.

Don't skimp on the time it takes to do it right at the beginning, and you won't be left uninsured or underinsured at claim time.

You insure your house and furnishings based on your capability to pay the required premium, and the insurance acceptance of the worth of your house & furnishings (separately).

It's current appraised value.
