How Much Homeowners Insurance Do I Need?

Even when home insurance is not required, it is generally considered a good idea to purchase enough to cover the cost to rebuild your home and replace your possessions.

To ensure you have sufficient protection, your homeowners insurance agent may request that you take inventory of your personal possessions. You should also consider any difficult-to-replace items or features of your home that could increase the replacement cost.
