Is it legal for the bank to require you to purchase home owners insurance for 3 times the value of the loan?
Your homeowners insurance in the United States must by law cover the value of the home being insured with no more than a 20% deviation. This may be more or less than the amount of your loan. No insurer will knowingly sell you a home insurance policy below the home value as such an insurance contract would be invalid. Homeowners insurance is for the home, not for the loan. You can purchase your homeowners insurance based on actual cash value of the home or on the replacement cost of the home. If you only want to insure a mortgage loan amount, that's what mortgage insurance is for.
