FAQ
How is home insurance calculated?
Insurers price primarily off what it would cost to rebuild the structure — not the market price of the house. Land doesn't burn. They layer on contents coverage, liability, your deductible choice, and local risk: crime, storm history, wildfire proximity, even roof age.
How much dwelling coverage do I need?
Full rebuild cost, typically 10–20% above market value in labor-expensive areas. Construction inflation since 2020 has left many older policies underinsured — recheck rebuild estimates every few years or ask for an extended replacement-cost endorsement.
Is a higher deductible worth it?
Raising 500 to 5,000 commonly cuts the premium 10–20%. The break-even line shows how many claim-free years it takes to win; if your emergency fund covers 5,000 comfortably, the math usually favors the higher deductible.
