Replacement Cost vs. Market Value — They’re NOT the same thing!
Your home may be worth $300,000 on the real estate market, but that doesn't necessarily mean it should be insured for $300,000.
🏡 Market Value is what your home and property may sell for.
🔨 Replacement Cost is an estimate of what it would cost to rebuild your home with similar materials and workmanship after a covered total loss.
Things like construction costs, labor, materials and debris removal can all factor into rebuilding costs.
That's why your home's insurance amount may look very different from its market value.
Have questions about the amount your home is insured for? Give us a call. We're happy to help explain your coverage.
