Replacing Your Home With Home Insurance

There are different types of home insurance policies to choose from, such as home insurance for condo owners, mobile homes, or single family units. But your home insurance policy may be categorized as one of the following types of policies: replacement cost, extended replacement cost and actual cash value.

• Replacement Cost: If your home is destroyed by a covered peril, your home insurance company will give you what you paid for the home when you purchased it. This does not take into account appreciation or depreciation of your home.
• Extended Replacement Cost: Extended replacement cost home insurance is, as you would imagine, coverage slightly beyond that of replacement cost. This type of home insurance will generally pay up to 25 percent more than your policy's limits to replace your home.
• Actual Cash Value: This home insurance policy will give you the current market value of your home. If your home is in a downward market, there's a chance you cold receive less than what you paid or may actually need monetarily to replace it. If house prices are up, you could end up with an appreciated value for your home and receive a larger payout than what you may have originally bought your home for.
