Fire Insurance Nightmare
I've been watching real estate around me with absolute astonishment. After
being evicted from our apartment last December because the landlord sold the house, we bought a home for $51k and insured it for $75. We did alot of work on it to make it nice. But regardless of that, real estate prices have gone crazy and we couldn't replace our home with less than $100-125k now, less than a year later. The other night I had a nightmare that my house burnt down and, even after hopefully convincing the insurance company we deserve $75k, we had $75k and were hopelessly unable to buy a home. The good news is I woke up and the house is fine and near a fire hydrant and fire house. The bad news is that really is my insurance situation. The purchase price is the insurance company's weapon against a higher claim (the purchase price was abnormally low even then). But replacement even with a $25k increase would definitely be impossible now. Is there a way out of this nightmare??? |
