The wrong information I was referring to was land value being taken into account when calculating reconstruction cost. If State Farm does this then they are worse than I thought. I can't believe it though since Marshall Swift/Boechks is the only residential cost estimator available anymore.



I understand where tcope is coming from...and yes I did handle property claims and also complete valuations on dwellings and commerical buildings. Let me say that agents use land when writing a policy.. or at least indirectly. Many agents are lazy or busy...okay most of them that I have dealt with are lazy. I see time and again agents using the purchase price of a home for the policy limits. My agent did it to me and actually under valuated my home by 30K. It took numerous calls and my own valuations on the house to show that I was under insured.

So Fishman you are right land should not be considered and tcope is right it many times is considered. Everybody is correct...so its a win win for all. :D

My question is....when the house prices are falling rapidly do we really need the inflation adjustment? Rather we can have a deflation adjustment that will lower the coverage level everytime the price of the house goes down. :D

I'm with you, anonymous. We don't need inflation guard right now and I wish companies would discontinue it until costs start going up again.
Until then, as a non-lazy agent, I'm working overtime to make sure my client's houses are not overinsured.
If your agent is not doing this. Make them do it.

That's the whole point. The coverage for your dwelling should be based on the cost to rebuild your home and not the market price or what you could sell it for. So any inflation adjustment would be for higher re-construction costs (lumber, shingles, drywall). I finished my basement around 2004 and just looked at current 1/2" drywall costs and found that they doubled in 5 years.

We can know that insurance companies charge some amount as a premium and reimburse the amount whenever the insured i.e. like you who insured the house.You can get insurance money. insurance company first assesses the extent of damage caused to the individual’s home or anything that is insured.
Off course someone complain that by the time the remittance is done the need for the insurance money is itself wiped out. Maybe it is fact as in a certain case in South Dakota, United States of America, the home of a person was destroyed due to a typhoon. They need some time to check it and you should wait for it.
When you get your money you can rebuild your house and decorate it.

If you only had liability Insurance (BiPd) your inrcsanue will cover the other party in an accident. In you case you dont have Comprehensive nor Collision coverage which is the coverage that covers your vehicle in case of an accident. Thats when you pay a deductible, but since you only have liability, you dont have a deductible so if you are getting a quote, make sure you put none where ever it asks you for coll/comp unless you want that coverage.

Homeowners insurance is only required to cover the amount of your mortgage, to protect the bank from losing money should anything happen to the property. For an insurance company to "protect" the homeowner by automatically increasing coverage is a load of BS. Any recommended increase should be explained and OFFERED to the homeowner. To me, it is no different than if my cable company decided I would benefit from having premium channels, added them to my service and charged me for them without my permission. The insurance company does not know my personal financial situation better than I do, and should not have the right to decide how much coverage I should have. Obviously more coverage = higher premiums, and here in New Orleans, more coverage also = higher hurricane/named storm deductibles = lower payout by State Farm = more expenses for people in times of disasters. I have called, written letters requesting that they don't increase my coverage without my permission, and gone to my agent's office in person and filled out paperwork to keep my coverage at the amount I want it at, but every year they increase it anyway. I don't see how this is legal. And if you think "there must be other companies offering insurance in New Orleans" hahahahahahaha

Not true. In fact, insuring only to the point of covering the mortgage could result in not having enough money to retire a mortgage in the event of the total destruction of the insured premises and contents.

Failure to properly insure the structure to at least 80% of its REPLACEMENT COST will invoke a provision known as COINSURANCE and reduce the amount of the claims payable in proportion to the amount of insurance that was purchased in relation to the amount that should have been purchased.

EXAMPLE: John's property replacement value is $125,000, but he insures the property for only $75,000. In the event of a loss, because the property is not insured for at least 80% of its replacement cost (minimum of $100,000), a loss will be paid in relation to the amount of insurance purchased compared to the minimum insurance needed to avoid the coinsurance provision. 75,000 / 100,000 = 75%. All property losses will be paid at the 75% rate. A $50,000 loss would only be paid to $37,500 (minus any deductible). Had the property been insured for at least $100,000, the entire $50,000 loss would have been paid (minus any deductible). The cost to insure the additional $25,000 in dwelling value -- maybe as much as $100-$150 for the year. Would you rather pay $100 or have to come up with $12,500 out of pocket (in addition to any deductible)?

I'm not going to argue against this statement too loudly, but automatic increases in coverage are typically in the insured's best interest. The problem arises when the insurance company uses inflationary factors that are unreasonable and will not agree to a reduction in the amount of insurance provided. Consumers should be able to reject an "automatic" increase if they choose, as long as they understand the issue of not being insured to at least 80% of the replacement cost of the structure.

it is no different than if my cable company decided I would benefit from having premium channels, added them to my service and charged me for them without my permission

and

more coverage also = higher hurricane/named storm deductibles = lower payout by State Farm = more expenses for people in times of disasters


Yes, I will agree with both of those statements. Here in CA, by artificially increasing the dwelling coverage amount, it has a direct effect on both the premium and the deductibles for earthquake coverage.

One of the arguments that insurance companies like to advance is that when a natural disaster (like a hurricane, tornado, flood, or earthquake) occurs, and many properties are damaged. building materials and labor both may be in short supply and the law of supply and demand causes them each to increase in the short term. CA has enacted an anti-gouging law that prevents the prices of most goods and services from being raised significantly beyond their pre-disaster prices in the event of an earthquake and most other natural disasters.

If you want to effect a change in this situation, you have to get the state legislature to change the insurance laws. Unfortunately, the insurance companies tend to have more capital resources than the people who pay insurance premiums can commit to fighting for their cause.

In order to determine the value of home insurance, you should consider the amount it would cost to totally rebuild your house at current prices. You should also calculate the value of all the personal belongings. And finally, estimate the value of all the personal assets you risk losing were someone to file and win a liability lawsuit against you.
