What your home is insured for is not based on the resale value but it is based on the Replacement Cost Value or RCV. The RCV is determined by how much it would cost to demolish your home and rebuild it exactly as it stands. In todays real estate market many people get confused with this concept as they could by their home for a fraction of what it is insured for. If you want to check and make sure you are insured for the proper value you can always ask a local contractor for a cost per square foot to build a home like yours, this will give you a rough estimate.
