I will have to trust the insurance company on the value because every quote I got was about the same level of insurance. Area is not prone to natural disasters, townhouse was built in 1998, walls are thick enough between units that I never hear any noise from either side. I can’t imagine any piece of land this close to Washington DC going down in value. Before we moved here I was used to single family homes that the insurance replacement value was somewhat higher than the current value.
My insurance policy's stated dwelling replacement limits are maybe 40% of what my house appraises for. But there's also lost personal property, other structures (like fences, sheds) and loss of use (temporary rent?). I'm not going to give specific numbers about the value, but I will say the policy has a $500,000 personal liability limit and an $89 annual premium for that. But that's tiny compared to the rest of my premium.
