Does my mortgage company have the right to insist that I buy home insurance for the entire loan amount?
1. I am paying 20% for down payment.
2. I am already insuring a little higher than the “replacement cost-New” amount in the appraisal report.

However, my mortgage company said we need to insure for the entire loan amount. Do they have the right to do this? My insurance company said we would be over insuring and they’re not willing to insure this amount, and they told me to go to other insurance company. Plus, I can’t afford to over insure. This is the only issue left before the Closing. I already contacted my mortgage person via email but I want to hear what you say. Thanks.

Most of these answers are correct. If you have full replacement value, that should suffice. Even if the house burns to the ground the land will still have value. Your #2 may be what is confusing the issue. The loan amount is what the mortgage company is concerned with. Full replacement means the insurance company will replace (rebuild) your home with something at least equal to what is there.

if you have guaranteed replacement cost that is all that is needed

It sounds to me like you need to postpone the closing and find a different, reputable mortgage company. When we bought our home, six years ago, all the mortgage company required was replacement cost new.

The bank has a right to insure their assets are protected. The bank needs to be insured in case of fire or any other hazard. The insurance must be guarantee replacement or the loan amount.

Contact the funding manager, he or she can look at your dec page and approve the transaction.

Generally, someone loaning you money has the right to ask just about anything they want of you (within reason. Obviously they can't ask you for your first child, or something stupid). That's why there are more than one mortgage companies. If you don't like their terms, you have the right to shop around. And find one that isn't asking you to insure the whole amount, if you can find it.

They are trying to protect their ASSets.
Replacement cost is all you need, the land won't burn down.

The mortgage company isn't lending the appraisal amount, they are lending the Loan amount.
They have every right to insist you insure the entire Loan amount, so they are covered for the loan amount in case of total destruction of the home.
The amount you should really insure is replacement cost of the purchase price of the home to cover your 20% down payment.

If you put 50 percent down, they will require insurance on 50 percent of the value. If the house burns down, they get paid first. /

It's called PMI. Insurance companies normally require you to carry this until your loan amount to date is less than 80% of the home value. If you purchased a home for $100,000 but you only put down 10% which brings your actual loan to $90,000 you have to continue to carry PMI until your loan amount is $80,000 or less. Keep in mind that if you purchased it for 100K and it appraises for 120K then you shouldn't have to carry it.
