| Every
day people ask themselves, “How much homeowner’s insurance do I need?”
The answer varies, depending on each person’s situation. Usually you should
insure your home for its whole value, the actual building and all of its
contents.
In
order to find out exactly how much your home is worth, you should have
it appraised. You can have an appraiser, builder or insurance agent give
you an estimate on its value. However, if you ever remodel or add on to
your home, its value will increase, and you will then need to purchase
more coverage.
For
any valuable possessions you have, you can purchase extended coverage,
to ensure those items are covered as well. The best thing to do is take
a room-by-room inventory of your valuables then keep this list somewhere
outside the home, for example, a safe-deposit box.
To
determine if valuable possessions, such as TVs, stereos or computers are
covered, or if you have any other questions about homeowner’s insurance,
contact your State Farm insurance agent.
