How much insurance do I need on my home?

It is estimated that about 60 percent of American homes are underinsured by an average of 22 percent. Your home is probably your largest single investment, so insuring it adequately is an important part of maintaining your financial independence.

You should have an amount of insurance that is sufficient to rebuild your home in the event it is totally destroyed by a fire, tornado, hurricane or other insured catastrophe. The amount of insurance should cover the cost of rebuilding your home at current construction costs, not including the value of the land. Don’t think about the price you paid for your home or the appraised value. The cost of rebuilding could be more or less than the price you paid or could sell it for today.
