Home Insurance Coverage - What Do You Really Need?
Hi! My name is Brian Stevens. I am a former Insurance agent and a financial consultant and I am going to show you how much Home Insurance Coverage you really need for your home.
The typical Homeowners Insurance policy covers your home and your personal property against loss or damage by fire, theft, vandalism and other causes. This coverage includes your home, other structures on your property such as a shed and outdoor items such as trees, lawn furniture and sprinkler systems. It also covers personal property such as clothing, furniture, electronics and appliances.
For your home, you only need enough insurance to cover the cost of rebuilding it at current construction costs. To estimate this cost, multiply the square footage of your home by the building cost per square foot in your community. Do not include the cost of your land as you figure out your coverage limit.
To decide how much coverage you need for personal property, you need to do a home inventory, listing everything you own and how much it would cost to replace these items. Some types of personal property are only covered up to a specified amount. For example, jewelery may only be covered up to $1,000. Ask your insurer what property has specific limits so you can buy more coverage if you needed.
Your Homeowners policy also includes liability coverage which protects you if someone is injured while on your property. You should buy enough liability coverage to protect your assets.
The best way to get inexpensive Homeowners Insurance Coverage to comparison shop and easiest way to do that is to get quotes from an insurance comparison website. It's quick, it's easy and it's free.
