An insurer is not likely to knowingly under-insure your home. It would be a violation of your states insurance code and could cause the agent or the company to be fined and possibly lose their license to do business in your state.
Does not matter whether it's paid off or not, it would simply be illegal for the company to knowingly do it.

You have to have it insured for at least the amount of mortgage. That is the mortgage companies "insurance" that it will be paid for if it is totally destroyed.AnswerIf you agreed to insure your house for the amount of the mortgage when you obtained your mortgage then you are bound by that agreement and will have no choice but to comply. Actually, the purpose of homeowner's insurance is not to insure the loan, it's to insure the property. You cannot purchase more than the replacement cost of the house. In the event of a total loss, you will only be paid the cost to replace the house up to the limit shown in the declarations, regardless of what the loan amount is. It is against the law for a mortgage company to require you to secure insurance for the value of the loan. They can be fined.

The purchase price of the home is not the value of the home. It is what you paid for the home. The value of the home is the appraised value. A lender would look only at the appraised value of a home for lending purposes. If you paid more or less for the home, that is on you.
Will a good homeowners insurance policy will include guaranteed replacement cost?
It depends on your needs. Under the terms of guaranteed replacement policies you agree to carry enough insurance to cover 100% of the cost to replace the home. If you don't carry that amount you will be penalized on partial claims as well as total losses. Say you have a home built in 1850. Replacement cost to rebuild the home exactly like it was originally may be $600,000 but you only paid $150,000 for the home and that's what you want to insure it for. If you have an HO-3, replacement cost policy, you will have to carry at least 80% of the $600,000 cost to rebuild. You can buy a HO-8 policy which requires 80% of actual cash value and allows you to insure it for $150,000. If it burns down or a tornado destroys the home you will be paid $150,000 which will allow you to purchase another home and the premium is much less.
