What are the insurance coverage types for homes in San Ysidro?

The thing about San Ysidro homeowners insurance that many people don't know is that it comes in a variety of different types, each one designed for the type of housing unit it protects.

Here is the information you need to know about the different homeowner insurance types in San Ysidro, CA:

HO-3: The majority of homeowners policies that are in force in San Ysidro, and most other places, are HO-3 type policies. The policies cover damage from any peril that is not specifically excluded in the policy details. HO-3 policies only protect your personal property from specific perils that are listed in the policy. As with most homeowner policies, flooding and earthquake damage are excluded.

Be sure to read your policy in full and understand any other exclusions that apply to your coverage.

HO-6: These policies are written especially for condos and co-op buildings. They provide protection for all of your personal property as well as the parts of the building that are your property, such as the walls and mechanicals of your particular unit.

HO-8: If you love older homes, this type of policy is for you. It protects older, historical homes where the cost to rebuild or replace the home exceeds the value of the house.

The fact that these policies will have a payout that is lower than the cost to replace the house makes them affordable. These policies are usually written because the home is too old to qualify for a traditional HO-3 policy. The main disadvantage is the fact that these policies only cover damage from 11 specific perils.

HO-4: If you are renting an apartment, you still need protection for your personal property and liability protection in the event that someone is injured in your apartment.

A HO-4 policy offers the protection that you need when living in an apartment. If your personal property is damaged or destroyed, you will be covered and it will also cover the medical bills and any legal bills if someone is injured while visiting you.

San Ysidro, CA Dwelling Coverage Estimate

It is important to calculate your dwelling coverage for your home in San Ysidro 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 San Ysidro, CA?

- The average square footage in San Ysidro is around 1,124 Sq. Ft. which would cost you around $364,100 to replace the home if you base the home on the price to build per square foot of $324.

Minimum Replacement Cost Total: $364,100

Location: San Ysidro, California (San Diego County)

Average Building Cost Per Square Foot in San Ysidro: $324 (low end)

Average Square Footage in San Ysidro: 1,124 Sq. Ft.

Home Improvement StatusPrice per Sq. Ft.Dwelling Coverage
None or Very Minor Improvements$324$364,100
Some Additional Upgrades$405$455,125
Major Home Updates or Advancements$486$546,150

The dwelling coverage is calculated by the average cost per square foot ($324) in San Ysidro, 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.
