How to determine how much coverage you need for a $400,000 house

The coverage you need for your home is based on its replacement cost and not its market value. So, if you paid $400,000 for your house, that doesn't mean you need $400,000 in coverage. It could be higher or lower than that, since factors that affect market value, like land value or school districts, have no impact on homeowners insurance.

To ensure you get the right amount of coverage, it's important to do a thorough and accurate replacement cost calculation. You can estimate the amount to get ballpark insurance rates, but when it comes to buying a policy, it needs to be accurate to properly protect your home.
