How Much Home Insurance Do You Need?

Get the right amount of coverage to protect your home and belongings.

Dwelling Coverage

Your dwelling coverage should equal the cost to rebuild your home completely—not its market value. This is called the "replacement cost" and is typically calculated based on:

  • Square footage of your home
  • Local construction costs per square foot
  • Quality of materials and finishes
  • Special features (custom kitchen, hardwood floors, etc.)

Personal Property Coverage

Most policies cover personal property at 50-70% of your dwelling coverage. Consider creating a home inventory to ensure you have enough coverage for your belongings.

💡 Quick Tip

Take photos or videos of your valuables and store them in the cloud. This makes filing claims much easier.

Liability Coverage

Standard policies include $100,000 in liability coverage, but experts recommend at least $300,000-$500,000. If you have significant assets, consider an umbrella policy for additional protection.
