First-Time Home Buyers Affected By Market Values – Entrust Insurance, St. Clair Shores
Video Transcription
“If you’re buying a new home for the first time, it’s impacting you right now and you’re insuring it for what it’s worth, what market value is, and what we tell clients is, you want to insure it for the higher of two things: rebuild cost or market value. Depending on where you live, geographically, home values obviously vary. So you may find that one area, say Saint Clair Shores for example, here, you may be carrying rebuild costs because that exceeds the market value. In areas like Royal Oak, Birmingham, for example, the market value is much higher than rebuild costs. So you want to make sure you understand what both of those values are and that your policy is covering you for the correct amount.”
