Myers Flat Home Insurance By Policy Type

When it comes to Myers Flat homeowners insurance policies, there are a few different policy types and each one is written for a certain type of structure. Having the correct policy type is essential to having the proper coverage on your home for added protection when you need it most.

Below we have featured the most common insurance types for homeowners living in or nearby Myers Flat:

 Type Description
HO-3

The most common of homeowners coverage is the HO-3. The majority of homeowners carry this type of policy and it covers damage that is caused by all perils unless they are excluded in the body of the policy. Damage that is caused by floods or earthquakes is always excluded on an HO-3 policy but there can be other exclusions as well.

HO-6

Condos are becoming a popular housing option in Myers Flat and if you have one, this is the policy type you need. In addition to condos, it also protects co-ops. This insurance offers coverage for your personal belongings as well as the components of the building that you actually own.

HO-8

Myers Flat is lucky to have a fair number of historical homes and if you own one, you may need an HO-8 policy. These policy types are specific to older homes where the replacement cost of the house may actually exceed the cash value of the home.

These policies are affordable because the payout levels are less than the actual replacement cost of the house. In most cases, the need for an HO-8 policy arises when the house is more than 40 years old and doesn’t qualify for a HO-3 policy. These policies only cover 11 perils.

HO-4

This policy type was designed for people that rent an apartment. It is often referred to as renters insurance. An HO-4 policy will pay out for damage to your personal property in your apartment and it also offers liability protection in the event that someone is injured in your apartment.

Myers Flat, CA Dwelling Coverage Estimate

It is important to calculate your dwelling coverage for your home in Myers Flat so you know what type of homeowners insurance coverage you need to cover your replacement cost. It is recommended to have enough dwelling coverage to rebuild your home if it was destroyed by a covered peril.

Please remember that replacement cost coverage does not include the cost of the land, only the price to rebuild your home, which is why we like to help customers by answering a few questions that you may have.

What is the average replacement cost coverage in Myers Flat, CA?

- The average square footage in Myers Flat is around 478 Sq. Ft. which would cost you around $155,000 to replace the home if you base the home on the price to build per square foot of $324.

Location: Myers Flat, California (Humboldt County)

Average Building Cost Per Square Foot in Myers Flat: $324 (low end)

None or Very Minor Improvements$324$155,000
Some Additional Upgrades$405$193,750
Major Home Updates or Advancements$486$232,500

The dwelling coverage is calculated by the average cost per square foot ($324) in Myers Flat, California times your heated square footage. Which would equal the cost to rebuild your home minus the cost of the property or land. Some homes will have a higher replacement cost due to home improvements like updated kitchens and bathrooms. Other upgrades may include: granite countertops, hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. The national square foot average to build a brand new home is around 2500 square feet. So if you are looking to build, and your square footage of your new home is 2500, you are looking at a dwelling coverage premium of around $1,012,500 (Media price to build of $405 x 2500 sq. ft.) to cover the cost to rebuild your new home.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
