It’s much cheaper to adequately insure yourself than to have a catastrophic loss and realize too late you were underinsured. I have my broker do a “checkup “ every year.

I own an independent insurance agency. First – your home insurance is insanely inexpensive. I’m genuinely concerned it’s actually too cheap. I know lemonade well – they are not a carrier I choose to work with and not a carrier I would recommend personally.

That aside, your coverage A (dwelling limit) will typically increase a little bit at minimum every year. This is to keep up with the cost of materials, labor etc to rebuild the house in the event of a total loss. The actual value of the property (what you can sell it for) is irrelevant to the insurance amount. The insurance amount is strictly based on the cost to rebuild the house in the event of a total loss.

Don’t miss: My home owners insurance went up $800 last year and then again $1200 this year, making my payment 7k to renew
