Frequently Asked Questions

How much home insurance coverage do I need?

Dwelling coverage should equal full replacement cost (not market value). Personal property is usually 50-70% of dwelling. Liability of $300K-$500K is recommended for most homeowners.

What is the difference between replacement value and market value?

Replacement value is the cost to rebuild your home from scratch with current materials and labor. Market value includes land and location and is usually higher than rebuild cost.

How much does home insurance cost in 2026?

The US average is around $1,800-$2,400/year, but high-risk areas (hurricane, wildfire, flood zones) can run $4,000-$10,000+. Your deductible and coverage limits also drive cost.

Is flood damage covered by home insurance?

No — standard policies exclude flood. You need a separate NFIP or private flood policy. Earthquake coverage is also typically a separate add-on.

Is the Home Insurance Estimator really free to use?
