Trusted Tuesday β Know the Truth. Get the Right Coverage.
MYTH: "My home is insured for its market value."
REALITY: Homeowners insurance is based on the reconstruction cost β what it would cost to rebuild your home from scratch using similar materials and labor β not what your home would sell for on the real estate market. These two numbers can be very different.
Your home might sell for $300K in today's market, but cost $400K to rebuild. Or the reverse. If your coverage is based on the wrong number, you could find yourself seriously underinsured after a loss.
This is one of the most important things we check when reviewing a policy. A few minutes today can save you from a huge gap when it matters most.
